Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 4 large eggs (separated)
Dairy
- 1.5 cups non fat Greek yogurt (350 g / 12.5 oz)
Sweets & Sweeteners
- ⅓ cup monkfruit sweetener (70 g / 2.5 oz)
Dry Ingredients
- ⅓ cup cornstarch (40 g / 1.4 oz)
Flavoring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the yolks from the egg whites, ensuring no yolk contaminates the whites to enable them to whip properly.
- Beat egg whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a separate bowl to free the mixer for the yolks.
- Cream yolks and sweetener: Add monkfruit sweetener and vanilla extract to the egg yolks and beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate yogurt: Add the non-fat Greek yogurt to the creamed yolks and blend well to combine.
- Add cornstarch: Sift the cornstarch into the yogurt and yolk mixture and gently fold to combine thoroughly.
- Fold egg whites: Carefully fold the stiff egg whites into the yogurt-egg batter to preserve the airiness and create a light texture.
- Prepare baking dish: Line a 7×11 inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour the batter into it evenly.
- Set up water bath: Place the baking dish on a larger baking sheet. Pour boiling water into the baking sheet until it submerges the baking dish about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way for a water bath effect.
- Bake the cake: Bake in a preheated oven at 330°F (160°C) for 45 minutes. Then increase temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
- Cool in oven: Turn the oven off, crack the oven door open slightly, and let the cake cool inside the oven for 1 to 2 hours to set gently.
Notes
- Ensure no yolk contaminates the egg whites to achieve proper stiff peaks.
- The water bath baking helps the cake stay moist and prevents cracking.
- Monkfruit sweetener is a natural, zero-calorie sugar substitute, ideal for sugar-free recipes.
- You can omit vanilla extract if preferred for a more neutral flavor.
- Be gentle when folding the egg whites to keep the batter light and airy.
- This cake pairs well with fresh berries or a sugar-free fruit compote.
