Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular, full-fat preferred)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 oz or 400 g) sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Pan & Oven
- Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C).
- Line an 8-inch round or springform cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and fully combined.
- For the best texture, use a hand mixer to beat for 2–3 minutes until light and frothy.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan.
- Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A toothpick should come out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
- For the creamiest texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Slice and top with your favorite fruit, a dusting of powdered sugar, or just enjoy as-is!
Tips for Success
- Use full-fat yogurt for a richer texture.
- Don’t overbake—check around the 45-minute mark to prevent dryness.
- Cool completely before slicing to help it firm up.
- Use a springform pan for easier removal and presentation.
- Want extra flavor? Add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of lemon zest for a boost.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with berries or a berry compote for a fruity finish.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- Enjoy with tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.
- Stack with fruit and yogurt for a brunch-worthy dessert.
