- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or sifted cake flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or zest of one lemon
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup full-fat yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare an 8-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, yogurt, cornstarch, vanilla (or lemon zest), and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold in one-third of the whipped egg whites to lighten the mixture, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites in two parts.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and place it in a larger baking tray filled with hot water (bain-marie). Bake for 50–60 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cake rest inside with the door slightly open for about 15 minutes before removing.
