This 4 ingredient yogurt cake is soft, creamy, and naturally flourless. Eggs, plain yogurt, sugar, and cornstarch create a custard-like cake that sets after chilling.
Preheat the oven to 355°F / 180°C. Line a 8-inch (20 cm) round oven-safe glass bowl with parchment paper.
Add 5 large eggs and 60 g granulated sugar to a mixing bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Add 500 g plain yogurt and whisk until smooth.
Sift 50 g cornstarch into the mixture. Whisk until smooth, then pour the batter into the prepared glass bowl.
Bake for 12 minutes. Reduce the oven to 320°F / 160°C. Bake for another 45 minutes.
Reduce the oven again to 300°F / 150°C. Bake for 5 minutes. A skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and cool for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 2 hours before removing the parchment, slicing and serving.

Cool for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours.Use plain yogurt: Plain yogurt provides the tested consistency. Other yogurt types may change how the cake sets.
