Ingredients:
\nEggs \u2013 4 large (separate yolks and whites)
\nPlain Yogurt \u2013 1 cup (full-fat for best results)
\nSugar \u2013 1\/2 cup (divided)
\nAll-Purpose Flour \u2013 1 cup
\nCornstarch \u2013 1 tbsp
\nBaking Powder \u2013 1 tsp
\nVanilla Extract \u2013 1 tsp
\nSalt \u2013 A pinch
\nLemon Juice \u2013 1 tbsp (optional, for a touch of freshness)
\nInstructions: <\/p>\n
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan
\nPreheat your oven to 170\u00b0C (340\u00b0F). Grease and line a round cake pan (8 or 9 inches) with parchment paper for easy removal.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Make the Egg Yolks Mixture
\nIn a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, yogurt, half of the sugar (1\/4 cup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and well-combined.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Sift in the Dry Ingredients
\nIn a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this into the egg yolk mixture until well combined, forming a smooth batter.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Whip the Egg Whites
\nIn a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 1\/4 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form. This will give your cake that airy, fluffy texture.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Fold in the Egg Whites
\nCarefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt batter in three batches. Be gentle to maintain the airiness and avoid deflating the mixture.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Bake the Cake
\nPour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is golden on top.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Cool and Serve
\nOnce the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n
Serve it as-is, or dust with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, or even fresh berries for extra flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
