Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 250 g natural Greek yogurt
• Natural sweetener to taste (stevia, honey, erythritol or whatever you normally use)
• 1 splash of vanilla essence
• Juice and zest of 1 lemon
• 1 tbsp. filled with coconut flour or cornstarch

Preparation mode:

1. Preheat the oven and prepare the mold: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Meanwhile, lightly grease a cake pan, preferably removable, and line it with parchment paper on the bottom to make it easier to remove from the pan later.
2. Separate the whites and yolks: Carefully separate the whites from the yolks into three different containers. The egg whites will go into a large bowl where we will beat them until stiff.
3. Beat the egg whites until stiff: Use an electric or hand mixer to beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. This process adds air to the mixture and will contribute to the lightness of the cake.
4. Prepare the liquid mixture: In another bowl, mix the yolks with the Greek yogurt, the natural sweetener to taste, the vanilla essence, the juice and the lemon zest. Combine these ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous and slightly aromatic mixture.
5. Add the flour and egg whites: Add the heaping tablespoon of coconut flour or cornstarch to the liquid mixture and stir gently until completely incorporated. Then, with delicate and enveloping movements, add the beaten egg whites until stiff. This will help maintain the fluffy texture of the cake.
6. Pour into the mold and bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, leveling it carefully. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on the surface and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and serve: Once cooked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, carefully unmold and transfer the cake to a rack to cool completely. Once cool, you can sprinkle a little more lemon zest on top to enhance the flavor.

And there you have it! An exquisite “Lemon Cloud Cake” without sugar or gluten, ready to be enjoyed as a light and tasty dessert. Its cloud-soft texture and delicious citrus flavor make it the perfect choice for those looking for an indulgent treat without compromising their food preferences. Enjoy!
