Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar or sugar substitute
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar for decoration (optional)
- Fresh berries for serving (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch round baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Blend everything
Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, baking powder, lemon juice, and salt into your blender.
Blend for approximately 30–45 seconds until everything is completely smooth and creamy. Avoid over-blending.
Step 3: Prepare the cake batter
Scrape down the sides of the blender if necessary. Make sure there are no lumps of cornstarch remaining. The batter should be smooth and slightly pourable.
Step 4: Pour into the pan
Pour the mixture evenly into your prepared baking pan. Gently tap the pan against the counter to release any large air bubbles.
Step 5: Bake
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40–50 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is just set.
Step 6: Cool
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. It may puff up while baking and settle as it cools. This is perfectly normal.
Step 7: Refrigerate
For the best texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 2–3 hours before serving. This helps it become wonderfully creamy and easy to slice.
Step 8: Decorate and serve
Dust with powdered sugar, add fresh strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, and serve chilled.
Methods of Preparation
The secret to this cake is its simple blender method. Instead of beating ingredients separately, everything is combined at once.
The Greek yogurt provides moisture and creaminess, while the eggs help the cake set. Cornstarch gives it structure and creates that delicate, soft texture.
Baking at a moderate temperature allows the cake to cook evenly without becoming too dry.
The final refrigeration step is especially important because it allows the cake to firm up and develop its beautiful creamy consistency.
A Little History of Cloud Cake
Cloud-style cakes belong to a family of light, delicate desserts inspired by soufflés, cheesecakes, and custard-based cakes.
Traditional versions often rely on whipped egg whites to create an airy texture. Modern home cooks have developed easier versions using yogurt, eggs, and simple pantry ingredients.
The blender method makes this dessert particularly convenient for busy families who want something homemade without spending hours in the kitchen.
