Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 3 spoonfuls of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 400 g yogurt
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation
- Start by separating the yolks from the whites. In a bowl, beat the yolks together with the sugar and vanilla extract until you get a creamy mixture.
- Then, add the baking powder and cornstarch. Mix well so that they integrate correctly.
- Add the yogurt, making sure to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- In another container, beat the egg whites with that pinch of salt until stiff.
- With enveloping movements, incorporate the egg whites into the previous preparation. The idea is that they do not lose air so that the cake is spongy.
- Pour the dough into a mold previously lined with parchment paper.
- Heat the oven to 170°C and, once hot, put the mold in. Cook for about 40 minutes.
- Then, lower the temperature to 140°C and let it cook for 20 more minutes.
- Finally, turn off the oven and leave the cake inside for 10 minutes to finish cooking with the residual heat.
- Remove it and let it cool completely.
- To finish, decorate with your favorite jam or honey. You can sprinkle coconut flakes and white chocolate zest to give it a special touch.
With this recipe, you will have a simple, creamy and delicious cake that will be the hit of any occasion.
Dare to do it and enjoy it! And, why not? Accompany it with a good mate or tea, the combination is perfect!
