Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups (350g/12.5 ounces) non-fat Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup (70g/2.5 ounces) monkfruit sweetener
- ⅓ cup (40g/1.4 ounces) cornstarch
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Meticulously prepare the baking environment by warming the oven to 330°F (160°C) and lining a 7×11-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Precisely separate egg whites from yolks, ensuring absolute separation to guarantee optimal volume during whipping.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip egg whites until they form robust, glossy peaks. Carefully transfer the fluffy whites to a separate container.
- In the mixer bowl, combine egg yolks with monkfruit sweetener and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture transforms into a pale, airy consistency.
- Gently incorporate Greek yogurt into the yolk mixture, stirring until completely smooth and uniform.
- Delicately sift cornstarch into the yogurt base, stirring to eliminate any potential lumps and create a silky texture.
- Execute a gentle folding technique when integrating the previously whipped egg whites, preserving the delicate air pockets that ensure a light cake structure.
- Transfer the gossamer batter into the prepared baking dish, positioning it atop a larger baking sheet.
- Create a water bath by carefully pouring boiling water around the cake dish, submerging approximately one-quarter to one-third of its height.
- Bake initially at 330°F (160°C) for 45 minutes, then incrementally increase temperature to 350°F (180°C) for an additional 15 minutes.
- Upon completion, switch off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door slightly ajar, allowing a gradual cooling process lasting 1-2 hours before gentle removal.
Notes
- Gentle Water Bath Technique creates a moist, delicate cake texture by surrounding the baking dish with hot water during baking.
- Egg Separation Matters significantly, as carefully separating whites and yolks ensures a light, airy cake structure.
- Gradual Temperature Adjustment helps prevent cracking and supports even baking, starting low and finishing slightly higher.
- Slow Cooling Process inside the oven prevents sudden temperature changes that could cause the cake to collapse or crack.
- Zero Sugar Alternative uses monkfruit sweetener, making this an excellent option for low-carb and diabetes-friendly desserts.
- Folding Technique requires delicate handling to preserve the whipped egg whites’ volume, ensuring a fluffy final result.
