Ingredients
4 eggs (room temperature, medium-large)
110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla paste (or extract)
Zest of ½ lemon (or orange zest / extra vanilla)
325 g (11.5 oz) unsweetened Greek yogurt
55 g (½ cup + 1 tbsp) cornstarch
¼ tsp baking powder
Instructions
Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Prepare an 18 cm (7-inch) springform pan lined with tall parchment paper.
Separate egg whites and yolks into two bowls.
Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In the yolk bowl, beat sugar, vanilla, and zest until pale and thick (about 4 minutes).
Add yogurt and mix gently on low speed until just combined.
Sift in cornstarch and baking powder; mix briefly—do not overmix.
Gently fold egg whites into the batter in batches using a spatula, keeping the mixture airy.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Place it into a larger pan and set in a water bath (add hot water).
Bake for 60 minutes (no fan, top & bottom heat).
Cool for 30–40 minutes before removing from pan.
Serve plain or with powdered sugar or fresh fruit.
Notes
Folding gently is key to achieving the fluffy texture.
Water bath prevents cracking and keeps the cake moist.
Do not open the oven during baking to avoid collapse.
Best served chilled or slightly cooled for clean slices.
