Ingredients

Servings: 8
  • 4 eggs need to be separated
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla sugar or vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup corn starch
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Divide 4 eggs into two bowls and put the egg whites to the side.
  • Whisk the egg yolk for about 30 seconds and that add the granulated and vanilla sugar to it. Whisk until a pale creamy batter forms.
    It will take about 2-3 minutes. Add the greek yogurt in the bowl and mix until combined.
  • Sift the cornstarch and baking powder into the pale batter and whisk again. Make sure no lumps are left behind.
  • Now whisk the egg whites until fluffy and stiff peak appear on the whisk. Use a hand mixer if you have one. That way it is a breeze to get it nice and stiff.
  • Take a spatula and fold the egg whites into the pale batter. Be gentle so you do not deflate the egg whites. Fold carefully until all the egg whites are incorporated.
  • Pre-heat oven to 325°F and grease the baking pan with oil. Also use a parchment paper on the bottom.
    Fill the batter into the form and even out the top.
  • Bake at 325°F for 30 minutes. Turn down the oven to 230°F and bake another 20 minutes. Use a toothpick to make sure it is baked.
    Let it cool down for about 10-15 minutes before removing the baking pan.
  • Once the pan is removed let it cool down.
    Decorate with whipping cream and fruit if desired.
    Enjoy!
