YOGURT CAKE



Yogurt Cake image

This Turkish yogurt cake, adapted from the cookbook "Claudia Roden's Mediterranean," is similar to a lemon-scented cheesecake, but it's lighter and has a fresher, tangier flavor. It's good both warm and cold, either on its own or topped with berries that have been macerated in a pinch or two of sugar. Make sure to use whole milk Greek yogurt or another thick, strained variety here, or the texture won't be as creamy.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Butter, for greasing the pan
4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups/400 grams whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch of salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter an 8- or 9-inch springform pan.
  • Using an electric hand mixer or a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-low until the mixture looks frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly start to increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl but using the same mixer, combine yolks and sugar (no need to wash beaters after the egg white). Beat yolks on medium-high until the mixture is very pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and gradually beat in flour, yogurt, lemon zest and juice, and salt until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolk-yogurt mixture until only a few streaks remain. Fold in the remaining whites, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until the batter is evenly mixed, light and smooth.
  • Scrape the batter into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until the top is speckled with golden brown and puffed, 40 to 55 minutes. (The 8-inch pan will take longer to bake through.) Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cake cool before cutting. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • For a thicker, denser cake, use Greek yogurt.
  • For a lighter, fluffier cake, use regular yogurt.
  • If you don't have yogurt, you can substitute sour cream or buttermilk.
  • Be sure to use fresh baking powder and baking soda. Old baking powder and baking soda can make your cake flat and dense.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make your cake tough.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and the inside will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. If you frost the cake while it's still warm, the frosting will melt and slide off.

Conclusion:

Yogurt cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make, and there are many different variations to choose from. Whether you like a thick, dense cake or a light, fluffy cake, there's a yogurt cake recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give yogurt cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
