A simple and delightful 4-ingredient yogurt cake featuring vanilla yogurt and shredded coconut, perfect for a quick and healthy dessert or snack. This moist and mildly sweet cake is easy to prepare, baked until set, and optionally topped with sliced almonds for added crunch.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup vanilla yogurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 tablespoons corn starch

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: Add the eggs, vanilla yogurt, unsweetened shredded coconut, and corn starch into a bowl and mix well until a smooth, uniform batter is formed.
  2. Prepare the Pan: Line a loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and pour the batter evenly into the pan. Optionally, sprinkle sliced almonds on top to add texture and flavor.
  3. Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cake for 20 to 25 minutes or until it is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake to avoid over-baking.
  4. Serve: Once baked and cooled slightly, enjoy the cake plain or serve it with berries, coconut whipped cream, or your preferred sweetener for an added treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the yogurt used is vanilla-flavored for the best taste without adding extra sugar.
  • Unsweetened shredded coconut is important to keep the cake from being too sweet; adjust to taste if preferred.
  • Corn starch helps provide structure to the cake, making it moist and tender.
  • You can substitute sliced almonds with other nuts or seeds as preferred.
  • Monitor baking time closely as ovens vary; the cake should be just set to keep it moist.
  • This cake pairs beautifully with fresh berries or whipped coconut cream for a light dessert.
