The Healthy 4-Ingredient Greek Yoghurt Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
300 g thick Greek yoghurt (I used 5% Fage — rich, creamy & protein-packed)
50 ml honey
20 g cornflour (cornstarch) — helps the cake set
2 eggs
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until smooth.
Line a 15 cm / 6-inch round tin with baking paper and pour in the batter.
Tap gently to level, then cover with foil.
Bake at 180°C for 50 minutes, removing the foil after 20 minutes.
Allow to cool in the tin for 20 minutes, then transfer carefully to a plate (it will be soft — this is normal).
Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow it to fully set.
Remove the baking paper, add fresh fruit, honey, or nuts if you like — and enjoy!
Topping Ideas (Nutritionist Approved):
Fresh berries for antioxidants
A drizzle of honey for natural sweetness
Crushed pistachios or almonds for healthy fats
Lemon zest for a refreshing twist
