Ingredients
-
1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular, full-fat preferred)
-
4 large eggs
-
1 can (14 oz or 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
Optional Toppings (Not counted in the 3 ingredients):
-
Fresh berries or fruit compote
-
Powdered sugar
-
Honey drizzle
-
Lemon zest or vanilla extract for extra flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan & Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C).
-
Line your cake pan with parchment paper (bottom and sides) to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fully combined.
-
For best texture, use a hand mixer to beat for 2–3 minutes until light and frothy.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan.
-
Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
-
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean.
-
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
-
For the creamiest texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
-
Slice and top with your favorite fruit, a dusting of powdered sugar, or just enjoy as-is!
Notes
Use Full-Fat Yogurt – Adds richness and structure to the cake.
Don’t Overbake – Check around the 45-minute mark; overbaking can make it dry.
Cool Completely – This helps it firm up and slice cleanly.
Use a Springform Pan – Makes removal and presentation easier.
Want Extra Flavor? – Add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of lemon zest for a boost.
