No Flour, Oil or Butter - Low Sugar - Gluten Free Option
"This dessert recipe is super light, easy, and refreshing. A great alternative to cheesecake. 😌 Perfect for the summer if you are watching your poolside figure! You have to try this one!"
This 4 Ingredient Yogurt Cake is the perfect cross between a Flan, Basque cheesecake and a creamy dense NY cheesecake. You don’t need a mixer, flour, butter, or oil to make it. The fact that it’s a healthy and low-calorie option is just icing on the cake - pun intended! 😉
The cake’s texture is soft and creamy, while the taste is rich and tangy, with a subtle sweetness that is perfectly balanced. At first glance, this cake may look like a cheesecake, but the texture is seemingly different. It has a custard-like consistency that is a little firmer, yet still incredibly creamy.
Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Servings – 6 to 8 Prep Time – 15 Minutes Cook Time – 55 Minutes
Ingredients:
2 cups vanilla yogurt
4 eggs
4 Tablespoons + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons cinnamon, optional
1/2 cup of blueberries or your favorite fruits, add an additional 1/2 cup for garnishing slices.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Use a piece of parchment paper to line a 6" spring form pan or cake mold of choice. Use a 9x13" pan and place mold in the center. If using a spring form pan, line the bottom of mold with foil to prevent leakage.
In a large bowl whisk eggs and yogurt until well combined.
Add cornstarch, and cinnamon; mix together until smooth. You can strain to make sure the batter has no lumps.
Add fruit, fold in gently. Reserve a couple for the very top of cake before putting in the oven.
Pour batter into pan/mold. Place cake in center of the 9x13" pan, place on oven rack. Pour in boiling water to an inch in height around cake to create a bain-marie (waterbath if you will). Add additional fruit to top of cake.
Bake for 50-55 mins or until the surface is yellow.
Let it cool completely. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.
Slice with sharp knife, garnish with extra fruit, honey and or whipped cream if desired.
Notes:
Air Fryer Method: 275-300F for 30-35 mins or until the surface is yellow
Variations and Substitutions:
You can easily adjust this cake to suit your taste preferences and dietary needs. I have tried a few of these alternatives to my tastes, so you may need to experiment and adjust the quantities for your tastes... Remember... Play with your food! 😉
For a sweeter cake you can use flavored yogurt such as strawberry, blueberry, or coconut. You can also use Greek yogurt as well. Add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter, for a sweeter version.
Drizzle the top of the cake with 🍫 chocolate and or caramel sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped toasted nuts or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra decadent cake. Mmmm a turtle yogurt cake!
You can use blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, mandarine oranges, peach, or pineapple. You can try canned apples, or even cherries.
Add 1-2 teaspoons or more of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the batter for a different flavor profile.
