- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or sifted cake flour)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or zest of one lemon)
- A pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup full-fat yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper at the bottom.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until frothy, gradually adding 1/3 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, yogurt, vanilla extract (or lemon zest), cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
- Gently fold in one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture to loosen it up, then carefully incorporate the remaining egg whites.

- Allow the cake to cool slightly in the oven before removing.
