Description

A delicate and airy dessert that melts in your mouth, made with Greek yogurt and a hint of lemon zest for a subtle tang.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 65g granulated sugar
  • 250g Greek yogurt
  • 30g all-purpose flour
  • 10g cornstarch
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • A few drops of lemon juice
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Line the bottom and sides of a 6-inch (15 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
  • Beat Egg Whites: In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with a few drops of lemon juice until foamy. Gradually add half the sugar (32g), beating until medium peaks form. Set aside.
  • Mix Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale and creamy. Add the Greek yogurt and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch into the yolk mixture. Stir gently until no lumps remain.
  • Fold in Egg Whites: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions. Use a spatula and fold gently to avoid deflating the batter.
  • Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release air bubbles.
  • Water Bath: Place the cake pan inside a larger baking dish. Pour hot water into the larger dish to create a water bath, filling it to about 1 inch (2-3 cm) deep.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Increase the temperature to 340°F (170°C) and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cake is set and lightly golden on top.
  • Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes to prevent sudden temperature changes.
  • Cool and Chill: Remove the cake from the oven and water bath. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy this light and fluffy yogurt cloud cake.
