3 Ingredient Creamy Yogurt Cake

This 3 Ingredient Creamy Yogurt Cake is pure magic! Light, creamy, and naturally low in sugar, it’s a gluten-free dessert that’s ridiculously easy to make. Perfect for a healthy treat or a cozy family dessert. Only three simple ingredients needed — you’ll love how it melts in your mouth!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 ½ cups (about 370g) plain yogurt (Greek or regular)

  • 3 large eggs

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch (or potato starch)
    Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, lemon zest, or 1 tablespoon honey for extra flavor

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.

  • Add the yogurt and cornstarch to the eggs. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth and no lumps remain.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

  • Place the cake pan inside a larger baking dish. Fill the outer dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the cake pan (creating a water bath).

  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the cake is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

 

  • Let the cake cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Room temperature eggs whisk better and create a smoother batter.

  • The water bath is key for a custardy, crack-free cake.

  • You can use flavored yogurt for a twist — vanilla and lemon flavors are especially delicious!

  • After chilling, the texture becomes firm and creamy, just like a cheesecake.

 

  • Add fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar for serving!
