Sugar Free Yogurt Cake

Welcome to my kitchen! Today, I’m excited to share with you a delightful recipe for a Sugar Free Yogurt Cake. This cake is not only light and fluffy but also guilt-free, making it the perfect treat for anyone looking to indulge without the extra sugar. Whether you’re hosting a gathering, celebrating a special occasion, or just craving something sweet, this cake will surely please everyone at the table.

What I love most about this recipe is its simplicity. Using just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a delicious cake that feels indulgent yet healthy. The star of the show is the non-fat Greek yogurt, which adds moisture and brings a creamy texture to the cake while also packing in protein. The monkfruit sweetener provides a natural sweetness without the calories, making it a great alternative for those watching their sugar intake. Plus, the cornstarch helps create a light and airy cake that is simply irresistible!

So, let’s dive into the recipe and create something amazing together!

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs (separated)
• 1.5 cups non-fat Greek yogurt (350 g/12.5 oz)
• ⅓ cup monkfruit sweetener (70 g/2.5 oz)
• ⅓ cup cornstarch (40 g/1.4 oz)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by carefully separating the egg yolks from the egg whites. Make sure no yolk leaks into the whites, as this will prevent them from whipping up to stiff peaks.
2. In a clean bowl, pour the egg whites and use an electric mixer to beat them until stiff peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving the light texture of the cake.
3. Once you have your stiff egg whites, transfer them to another bowl. In the same mixer bowl, add the egg yolks, monkfruit sweetener, and vanilla extract (if using). Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4. After the yolks are well-creamed, gently fold in the Greek yogurt until fully incorporated.
5. Sift the cornstarch over the yogurt and egg mixture, then gently combine until just mixed.
6. Now, with a spatula, carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yogurt batter. This step should be done gently to maintain the volume of the egg whites.
7. Next, line a 7 by 11 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
8. Place the baking dish on a larger baking sheet. Pour boiling water into the larger baking sheet until the baking dish is about 1/4 to 1/3 submerged in the water. This water bath will help keep the cake moist.
9. Preheat your oven to 330°F (160°C) and bake the cake for 45 minutes. After that, raise the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
10. Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cake to cool for 1 to 2 hours. This gentle cooling process helps prevent cracking.

Tips & Variations

• Flavor Boost: Add some lemon or orange zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus flavor.
• Fruit Topping: Serve with fresh berries or a fruit compote for a delicious topping.
