INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGG WHITES:

  • We use egg whites only to prepare this cake. Beat them till fluffy to provide the airy & fluffy feel in the cake. Use the clean and dry bowl to whip the whites properly. Separate the yolks without breaking them; otherwise, the whites will not get fluffy.

GREEK YOGURT:

  • Greek yogurt adds moisture content, which helps in making the soft cake. Use a non-fat variety of the Greek yogurt so the points and calories will remain low. It provides the light, tangy taste that fixes the sweet taste. Strain the yogurt also to provide a smooth texture.

SWEETENER:

  • Monk fruit or Erythritol are zero-calorie sweeteners that are used to sweeten this cake. This sweetener will also help to provide a light flavor. We can also use lemon zest to provide a light lemon flavor in the cake.

CORNSTARCH:

  • Cornstarch helps in stabilizing the batter so the cake will not collapse after baking. It helps to maintain the texture without adding calories. If we skip the cornstarch, it will lead to shrinking the cake, so it’s better to use it.

VANILLA ESSENCE:

  • It includes a strong aroma and enriches the taste. It provides a classy feel; use lemon essence instead to add a different flavor profile to prepare this cake.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. We heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Place the parchment on the baking tray.
  3. Now we add the whites to the clean dish carefully.
  4. We whip the whites with a pinch of salt to form the stiff peaks.
  5. Take the other dish and include the sweetener, cornstarch, vanilla essence, yolks, and yogurt.
  6. Whisk all of these components.
  7. Fold one-third of the whites with the blend of yolk.
  8. Include the left behind egg whites in the yolk blend and fold with care.
  9. Now we include the batter in pan.
  10. Bake this cake for twenty-five minutes till the top part gets golden and set in the middle.
  11. We have to cool the cake so it sets.
  12. Make slices and serve.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Sprinkle sweetener powder over the cake.
  • Serve this cake with berries.
  • Drizzle some sugar-free chocolate syrup over the cake.
  • Top this cake with a spoonful of whipped cream.

TIPS:

  • We don’t have to mix the batter for a long time after the egg whites are added; otherwise, the cake gets dense.
  • Use the middle rack to bake the cake to provide heat equally.
  • We have to fully cool the cake, then make slices; the cake will collapse.
  • Chill the cake to have a cheesecake-like firm texture.
  • Include the lemon zest to provide additional flavor.
