Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and eggs together until the mixture is smooth, pale, and completely blended with no streaks.
- Add the erythritol to the bowl and whisk until it fully dissolves into the yogurt and egg mixture.
- Sift the corn starch, tapioca flour, or arrowroot powder over the wet ingredients, then whisk gently just until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula so it reaches evenly to the edges.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges, remove it from the pan, and cool completely on the rack.
- Before serving, top the cooled cake with fresh berries or mango, a sprinkle of lemon or orange zest, and shaved chocolate if desired; drizzle with honey, maple syrup, or dust with powdered sugar only if you do not need it fully sugar free.
Notes
- Use full-fat 5% Greek yogurt for the best creamy, custardy texture and reliable structure.
- If the batter looks slightly loose, do not add more starch; it sets as it bakes and firms further as it cools.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing so it has time to set and hold clean slices.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; serve slightly chilled or let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before eating.
