Description

This delightfully simple cake requires just three primary ingredients—yogurt, eggs, and cornstarch—for a moist, tender loaf with minimal effort and maximum comfort.


Ingredients

1½ cups (315 g) yogurt (plain or vanilla-style)

4 eggs

Optional: 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

5 tablespoons (55 g) cornstarch


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs until smooth.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract if using, then add the cornstarch. Whisk until the batter is uniform and lump-free.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
  6. Let cool in the pan, then slice and serve with your choice of toppings such as berries, honey, or compote.

Notes

  • Choose thicker yogurt for best texture.
  • Add sugar if using plain yogurt for a sweeter loaf.
  • Let cake cool fully before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Can be enjoyed warm or chilled depending on preference.
