Ingredients & Quantities
Yogurt: 1 cup
Eggs: 3 large, separated
Sugar: ½ cup
Flour: ¼ cup
Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Salt: A pinch
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Line or lightly grease a round cake pan.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale and creamy.
Add the yogurt and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Sift in the flour and baking powder. Mix gently until just combined.
In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt. Gradually add the remaining sugar and whip until soft, glossy peaks form.
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in batches, using a light hand to keep the air in.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until lightly golden and set in the center.
Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cake rest for 10 minutes before removing.
Origin and Cultural Significance
