Ingredients

Egg Mixture:

  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar (optional)

Additional:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Egg Yolk Batter: In a bowl, combine egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, yogurt, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift in flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt into the yolk mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar and gradually add remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Fold Egg Whites: Gently fold egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into the pan and bake for 40–45 minutes until golden. Cool in the oven slightly before removing to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, use lemon or vanilla yogurt and top with fresh berries.
  • This cake is best served chilled or at room temperature.
