Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

For Serving (Optional)

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the plain nonfat Greek yogurt, eggs, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional lemon zest to evenly distribute the leavening agents and flavors.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for the best texture.
  8. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Optionally, add fresh berries for extra flavor and nutrition.

Notes

  • Add fresh berries on top for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • To make the cake dairy-free, substitute the Greek yogurt with a non-dairy yogurt alternative.
  • This cake is lightly sweetened and pairs wonderfully with tea or coffee.
