Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

4 large eggs (separated)

Dairy

1.5 cups non fat Greek yogurt (350 g / 12.5 oz)

Sweets

⅓ cup monkfruit sweetener (70 g / 2.5 oz)

Others

⅓ cup cornstarch (40 g / 1.4 oz)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the yolks from the egg whites, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites to allow them to beat properly.
Beat Egg Whites: In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside in another bowl.
Cream Yolks: Add monkfruit sweetener and vanilla extract to the egg yolks. Use the mixer to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Yogurt: Incorporate the non-fat Greek yogurt into the creamed egg yolks, mixing thoroughly.
Sift Cornstarch: Sift the cornstarch into the yogurt and egg yolk mixture and fold gently to combine well.
Fold Egg Whites: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, preserving as much air as possible for a light texture.
Prepare Pan: Line a 7 by 11 inch baking dish with parchment paper and pour the batter evenly into the dish.
Set Up Water Bath: Place the baking dish on a larger baking sheet. Pour boiling water into the larger baking sheet until the smaller dish is submerged about ¼ to ⅓ in water.
Bake the Cake: Bake in a preheated oven at 330°F (160°C) for 45 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Cool Down: Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cake cool in the oven for 1 to 2 hours to prevent cracking and to set the texture.

Notes

Ensure no yolk is mixed with the whites to achieve stiff peaks.
Folding the egg whites gently helps maintain the airy texture of the cake.
Use a water bath to keep the cake moist and prevent cracking during baking.
Cooling in the oven gradually helps the cake set perfectly.
You can substitute monkfruit sweetener with another sugar-free sweetener of choice if preferred.
