3 Ingredient Creamy Yogurt Cake

3 Ingredient Creamy Yogurt Cake – this simple dessert changed how I think about baking! I was amazed when we discovered you only need three basic things to make it. You won’t believe how creamy and soft this cake turns out, then it gets even better after chilling. It has such a lovely texture that melts in your mouth, but we also love how easy it is to make. Also, this cake tastes so rich and satisfying without being too heavy!

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups (400 g) nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
• 4 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons (32 g) cornstarch

How To Make Creamy Yogurt Cake

1. Prepare your pan: Spray a 6-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line it with parchment paper, making sure it covers the bottom and sides completely. The paper should come up above the pan edges. Don’t worry if it looks wrinkled – this gives the cake a nice rustic look!
2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, add the yogurt and eggs. Whisk them together until the eggs are fully mixed in. Add the cornstarch and whisk until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
3. Pour and bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan.For Air Fryer: Heat to 320°F (160°C) and bake for 20-23 minutesFor Oven: Heat to 350°F (177°C) and bake for 70-75 minutes
4. Check for doneness: Your cake is ready when it’s puffed up, not jiggly, and has a golden caramelized top. It will deflate a bit when you take it out – this is normal!
5. Cool properly: Let the cake sit at room temperature for 30 minutes, then put it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Best Served With

This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. I love serving it as an afternoon snack or light dessert after dinner. It also works great for breakfast with some fresh fruit on the side. The creamy texture makes it perfect for special occasions when you want something elegant but simple to make.

How To Store Creamy Yogurt Cake

Keep your cake covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. I actually think it tastes better the next day after the flavors have time to develop! Take it out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before serving so it can warm up slightly. You can also make this cake the night before and leave it in the fridge overnight.

Tips To Make 3 Ingredient Creamy Yogurt Cake

• Use room temperature eggs – they mix better with the yogurt
• Don’t skip the parchment paper – it makes removing the cake so much easier
• Whisk well – make sure there are no cornstarch lumps in your batter
• Be patient with cooling – the fridge time really helps the texture
• Check your air fryer – cooking times can vary between different models
• Don’t open the oven door – this can make the cake collapse too much

• Drizzle with honey or maple syrup
• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• A dollop of whipped cream
• Chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts
• A light dusting of powdered sugar
• Lemon zest for extra freshness
