Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg yolks, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and set.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Slice and serve with your favorite toppings or enjoy it as is!

How to Store Leftovers
If you somehow manage to resist devouring the entire cake in one sitting (trust me, it’s tempting), you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Food and Drink Pairings
Pairing suggestions:
- Fresh berries and whipped cream
- Lemon curd and toasted coconut
- Raspberry coulis and mint leaves
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce
For beverages, I recommend serving this delightful cake with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a glass of sparkling wine for an extra touch of elegance.
