Ingredients:
1½ cups 0% Greek yogurt
4 eggs (substitute 2 eggs with 1/3 cup egg whites)
5 tbsp tapioca flour
180g apples (or 200g strawberries)
1 tbsp butter
Dash of cinnamon
Stevia (or regular sugar to taste – remember to recalculate the macros if using sugar)
6” Pyrex bowl or round baking pan
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray your 6-inch round Pyrex bowl with oil and line it with parchment paper.
Whisk the eggs (or egg whites) and yogurt in a large bowl. Once the batter is silky smooth, sift in your cornstarch (or tapioca flour) and whisk until incorporated and smooth. Transfer the batter to your prepped pan.
Bake for 1 hour or until the top is puffed up and golden brown. Remove from the oven and within a minute, the top will deflate – that’s what we want.
Let it cool for 30 minutes, then transfer the cake to the fridge without removing it from the pan. Cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Remove the cake from the fridge 15 minutes before serving.
Topping:
Customize your cake with a variety of toppings:
Apple Topping: Peel, core, and cut the apples 🍎 into small pieces; warm the butter in a pan and roast the apples for a few minutes until golden brown but still crisp, then add cinnamon and stevia.
Strawberry Topping: Cut a few fresh strawberries 🍓 into thin slices and place them on top of the cake, then add fresh chopped mint as garnish.
