Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large egg whites (room temperature)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a round cake pan and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until firm, glossy peaks form. This step is crucial for achieving the cake’s fluffy texture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution for a light and tender cake.
  4. Mix Yogurt and Vanilla: Gently stir the plain yogurt and vanilla extract in another bowl until smooth, creating a moist and flavorful base.
  5. Fold and Combine: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the yogurt mixture, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites in batches. Take care to maintain the airiness by folding gently to avoid deflating the mixture.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The cake should turn golden on top and spring back lightly when touched. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to whip the egg whites more easily and achieve better volume.
  • Whip egg whites thoroughly to stiff peaks for maximum fluffiness.
  • Fold ingredients gently to maintain the batter’s aeration.
  • Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist; check with a toothpick for soft, clean crumbs.
  • If using a tube pan, cool the cake upside down to maintain height and prevent collapsing.
