Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1.5 cups non-fat Greek yogurt (350g/12.5 oz)
  • 1/3 cup monkfruit sweetener (70g/2.5 oz)
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch (40g/1.4 oz)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

  1. Prep Your Oven and Pan:
    • Preheat the oven to 330°F (160°C).
    • Line a 7×11-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Separate Eggs:
    • Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, making sure no yolk gets into the whites as this is crucial for achieving the desired fluffiness.
  3. Beat Egg Whites:
    • Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will create the airy texture that’s key to the cake’s lightness. Set aside in another bowl.
  4. Mix Egg Yolks and Sweetener:
    • In the same mixer bowl, add the monkfruit sweetener and vanilla extract to the egg yolks. Beat until light and fluffy.
  5. Incorporate Greek Yogurt and Cornstarch:
    • Mix the Greek yogurt into the egg yolk mixture until smooth.
    • Sift the cornstarch into the mixture, combining until everything is well incorporated.
  6. Fold in Egg Whites:
    • Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yogurt mixture, taking care not to deflate the air bubbles.
  7. Bake in a Water Bath:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and place it on a larger baking sheet.
    • Fill the baking sheet with boiling water to about 1/4 to 1/3 the height of the baking dish.
    • Bake at 330°F for 45 minutes, then increase the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 15 minutes.
  8. Cool in Oven:
    • After baking, turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cake cool inside for about 1-2 hours to prevent it from collapsing.

Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs, separated
1.5 cups non-fat Greek yogurt (350g/12.5 oz)
1/3 cup monkfruit sweetener (70g/2.5 oz)
1/3 cup cornstarch (40g/1.4 oz)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)


Instructions

Preheat your oven to 330°F (160°C). Line a 7×11-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites, ensuring no yolk mixes with the whites. This is crucial for achieving stiff peaks when beating the egg whites.
In a bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Transfer the beaten egg whites to another bowl.
In the same mixer bowl, add the monkfruit sweetener to the egg yolks along with the vanilla extract (if using). Beat the mixture until the eggs become light and fluffy.
Add the Greek yogurt to the egg yolk mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Sift the cornstarch into the egg and yogurt mixture, combining until smooth.
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yogurt and egg batter, maintaining as much air as possible for a light and fluffy texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Place this dish on a larger baking sheet.
Fill the baking sheet with boiling water, enough to submerge the baking dish by 1/4 to 1/3.
Bake at 330°F (160°C) for 45 minutes. Then, raise the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Once baked, turn off the oven. Crack the oven door open and allow the cake to cool inside for about 1-2 hours before removing it.
