Creamy 3-Ingredient Yogurt Cake

Posted on August 12, 2025


Creamy 3-Ingredient Yogurt Cake (Easy Recipe)

This creamy yogurt cake is soft, smooth, and made with just 3 simple ingredients. You don’t need any flour, butter, or oil. It’s healthier than most cakes and perfect for a light snack or dessert. The batter takes only 5 minutes to mix, and you can bake it in the oven or cook it in the air fryer!


 Ingredients:

  • 1 2/3 cups (400g) nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
    (Make sure it’s sweetened. I used vanilla, but other flavors also work.)

  • 4 large eggs
    (They give the cake structure.)

  • 4 tbsp (32g) cornstarch
    (Helps to thicken the batter and keeps the texture creamy.)


 About the Texture & Sweetness:

  • This cake is very creamy — similar to cheesecake.

  • The outside of the cake may feel a little chewy.

  • It’s not very sweet because the only sugar comes from the yogurt. If you like, you can add more sugar or drizzle honey on top when serving.


 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

  • Spray the inside of a 6-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.

  • Line it with a large piece of parchment paper so it covers the bottom and sides. Let the paper stick out above the edges — that’s okay! It will look a little wrinkled, and that’s normal.

Step 2: Make the Batter

  1. In a large bowl, mix the yogurt and eggs together until smooth.

  2. If you want to add sugar for extra sweetness, add it now.

  3. Add the cornstarch and whisk again until the batter is smooth.

Step 3: Pour and Bake/Cook

Air Fryer Method (Recommended):

  • Preheat air fryer to 320°F (160°C).

  • Pour the batter into the pan.

  • Cook for 20-23 minutes.

  • The cake should puff up, the top will turn golden, and it should not be jiggly.

  • After cooking, the cake will deflate slightly — that’s normal.

Oven Method:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

  • Bake for 70-75 minutes.

  • The cake will puff up and then deflate a bit once it’s out. The texture will be a bit moister than the air fryer version.


 Cooling and Serving:

  1. Let the cake cool on the counter for 30 minutes.

  2. Then place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is best).

  3. Take it out of the fridge 15-30 minutes before serving to come to room temperature.

  4. Drizzle with honey or sweetener if desired.


 Tips & Tricks:

  • If you like your cake sweeter, you can add:

    • 1/4 cup of sugar if using sweetened yogurt.

    • 1/2 cup of sugar if using plain unsweetened yogurt.

  • Works best in a 6-inch round cake pan or springform pan.

  • See notes above for the difference between oven and air fryer versions.
