Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or sifted cake flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or lemon zest)
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup full-fat yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, ensuring no yolks mix with the whites. Beat egg whites until frothy, gradually adding 1/3 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg yolks, yogurt, vanilla or zest, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture to loosen it. Then fold in the remaining egg whites gently until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and place in a larger baking tray filled with hot water (bain-marie). Bake for 50–60 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for about 15 minutes before removing.
