Diet yogurt cake: 3 ingredients, very few calories and lots of goodness!
Ingredients
- 1 kg of plain Greek yoghurt 5% fat, or vanilla
- 80 grams of corn starch,
- 5 eggs,
- 80 grams of stevia, or liquid sweetener to taste
A couple of clarifications on the ingredients
The cake we’re going to make, despite having so few ingredients, is truly versatile. We can use natural white yogurt and then adjust the sweetness by adding sweetener or by choosing it already sweetened it will not be necessary to add anything. To reduce calories, the option is that of a sugar-free and low-fat yogurt and if, on the other hand, we want to have a less neutral taste, we opt for fruit yogurt. In addition to the flavor, it will change the look of the cake which, of course, will become coloured. Finally, we can make another change, choosing a sweetener other than stevia, if there is a need for it. Fructose, honey, agave syrup, zero calorie liquid sweetener, are all options we can evaluate.
Preparation
Put the yogurt in a container. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs to combine the yolks and whites, then add them to the yogurt. Using a whisk, mix the two ingredients well. Once we have a smooth and homogeneous mixture, using a fine-mesh strainer, sift the cornstarch inside. We still work everything eliminating any lumps. At this point let’s taste the degree of sweetness of the dough and possibly add sweetener if you use the liquid one.
Grease and flour a 22cm springform pan. We try to create as few folds as possible, so it will be easier to unmold the cake. Pour the mixture into the mold and bake in a hot oven, ventilated mode, central shelf, at 180° for half an hour. We check the cooking by doing the toothpick test.
How to serve the diet yogurt cake
When our cake is cooked, let’s wait for it to cool completely before unmolding it. We have to be very delicate because it will be soft. Once removed from the pan, place it on a serving plate. In reality, nothing else would be needed to bring it to the table but, we can sprinkle the surface with the jam of your choice. If we still want to keep a low calorie count, choose a light jam, it will in any case be very good and light. It will end up that we will prepare it every day!
