Ingredients

Elaboration

1. Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks with the yogurt and a little salt, then add the flour and cornstarch.
2. Whip the egg whites separately with the sugar.
3. To combine them, gradually add the yolk mixture to the whipped whites using gentle folding motions. If you like, add a touch of vanilla.
4. Baking: pour the batter into the pan and give it a few gentle taps on the countertop to level it. Bake at 150°C for 20 minutes on the middle rack. Then, lower to 140°C/300 F for 40 minute

Tips and Common Mistakes

For a tall, light, and fluffy yogurt cake, separate the egg whites and yolks carefully, making sure no yolk gets into the whites. Beat the egg whites until soft or medium peaks form: they should hold their shape while still looking smooth and glossy.

Fold the yolk mixture into the whipped whites gently to avoid knocking out the air.

Use room-temperature ingredients and always preheat the oven before baking. If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil during the final minutes.

Common Mistakes

Overbeating the egg whites: If they become dry or grainy, they will be harder to fold in and the cake may lose volume.

Mixing too vigorously: Rough mixing deflates the egg whites and produces a denser cake.

Opening the oven too early: This can cause the cake to collapse. Avoid opening the oven during the first 40 minutes.

Using too high a temperature: The outside may brown while the center remains undercooked. Follow the recommended temperature and test the center with a skewer.

Unmolding immediately: Let the cake rest for a few minutes before removing it from the pan to prevent it from breaking.

Measuring ingredients inaccurately: Small changes in the flour, cornstarch, or sugar can significantly affect the texture.
