Ingredients
2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt
4 Large Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 pinch Salt
1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
- Prepare your pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Line the bottom with parchment paper. This prevents sticking for your Cake
- Separate eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites. Place them in two separate large bowls
- Mix yolks: In the bowl with egg yolks, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using) until smooth. You are creating the base for your Fluffiest Yogurt Cloud Cake
- Whip egg whites: In the separate bowl, add a pinch of salt to the egg whites. Beat them with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. The whites should hold their shape for the Cake
- Combine mixtures: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture in two additions. Be very careful not to deflate the whites. This step ensures the fluffy texture of your Fluffiest Yogurt Cloud Cake
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the Fluffiest Yogurt Cloud Cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clea
- Cool and serve: Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the Cloud Cake cool inside for 15-20 minutes. This prevents cracking. Remove the Yogurt Cloud Cake from the oven, cool completely on a wire rack, then chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your delicious Fluffiest Yogurt Cloud Cake!
Notes
Always use full-fat Greek yogurt; it gives the cake its rich texture. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before separating; they whip better. Do not overmix the batter once you fold in the egg whites; light hands yield a fluffier cake. A water bath around your springform pan during baking also helps achieve a super moist cake, preventing cracks. Finally, chilling the cake thoroughly before serving is key for perfect slices.
Store leftover cake covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It tastes best chilled. Freezing is not recommended as its delicate texture can change. Simply serve slices directly from the fridge.
Pair this cake with fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries. A dusting of powdered sugar adds an elegant touch. You can also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. It also pairs beautifully with a warm cup of coffee or a light herbal tea.
