This simple and healthy yogurt cake is perfect for those who love light, naturally sweet desserts without the need for added sugar or flour. With just three basic ingredients, you can create a delicious treat that’s great for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients

1. Yogurt – 2 cups (about 500g) of plain, full-fat, or Greek yogurt for a rich and creamy texture. You can also use flavored yogurt if desired, but ensure it doesn’t have added sugar.
2. Eggs – 3 large eggs to help bind the cake and provide structure.
3. Fruit Puree or Mashed Bananas – 1 cup (about 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed, or any fruit puree like applesauce, mango, or pear). This acts as the natural sweetener.

Optional Additions (not counted in the 3 ingredients)

• Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon for extra flavor.
• Cinnamon or Nutmeg – A pinch for warmth and depth.
• Fresh Berries – To add texture and bursts of flavor.
• Chopped Nuts – For a crunchy topping.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 7-inch (18 cm) round baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the yogurt and fruit puree or mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows the cake to firm up and develop its flavor.

Once cooled, slice and serve as is, or garnish with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey (if desired), or a sprinkle of powdered cinnamon.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. The cake tastes even better when chilled. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before eating.
