Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F

Add the natural yogurt and eggs to the bowl and whisk until you get an even consistency.

Add the cornstarch and whisk the batter again until all the cornstarch is absorbed and there are no lumps.

Optional: grate some lemon zest for a little tangy flavor (or add a few berries)

Line the cake tin with parchment paper and pour the cake batter.

Optional: grate a little lemon zest on top for some extra tang and texture.

Bake for 30 minutes, check cake (use a wooden skewer to test), and if you want a slightly browned top, increase heat to 220°C / 430°F, and then bake for another 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool for 10-20 minutes before removing from the cake tin.

It’s ideal to serve with a coffee or tea and if you’re looking to sweeten up the dessert, dust with some cocoa powder, icing sugar, or even a little ground cinnamon. Some fresh berries would also work great.
