Yiaourtopita Yogurt Cake Recipes

GREEK YOGURT CAKE SOAKED IN SYRUP RECIPE (YIAOURTOPITA)

Steps:

• To prepare the syrup for this Greek yogurt cake, add all the ingredients for the syrup in a small pot and bring to the boil. Boil for about 2-3 minutes, until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has slightly thickened. Leave aside to cool.
• To prepare the Greek yogurt cake (yiaourtopita), divide the eggs into yolks and whites. Place the egg whites in the mixer's bowl, along with a pinch of salt. Make sure your egg whites, bowl and whisk attachments are clean and free of any water. Whisk the egg whites until the mixture is very thick and glossy and a long trailing peak forms when the whisk is lifted (meringues). Place the mixture in a bowl and set aside.
• In another bowl, sift the flour and the baking powder and blend.
• Use an electric mixer, to mix the butter and sugar for about 15 minutes, until the butter is creamy and fluffy (it is very important that the butter is at room temperature). Add the egg yolks, one at a time, whilst mixing, allowing time for each one to be absorbed, before adding another. Add the yogurt, the orange and lemon zest and the vanilla extract and blend to combine. Add 1/3 of the sifted flour and blend, using a maryse spatula. Add 1/3 of the meringues and blend with light circular movements from the bottom up. Repeat with the rest of the flour and meringue (adding 1/3 of the flour and 1/3 meringue and then the remaining flour and meringue).
• Preheat the oven to 190C (both top and bottom heating elements on). To bake the Greek yogurt cake, use a round cake tin, approx. 26cm in diameter. Butter the bottom and sides of the tin and pour in the mixture.
• Place the cake in the preheated oven, on the lower rack, turn the heat down to 175C and bake for 50-60 minutes, until nicely coloured and cooked through. Check if it is ready, by sticking in the middle of the cake a wooden skewer or toothpick. If it comes out clean, then the cake is ready.
• To finish the Greek yogurt cake, ladle slowly the cold syrup over the hot cake, allowing each ladle of the syrup to be absorbed, before ladling again. Allow time for the syrup to be absorbed.
• This Greek yogurt cake is ideally served cold, not hot, with a fresh fruits, yogurt or ice-cream . Enjoy!

Next add the powered sugar and mix until just incorporated. Lastly, add the flour and baking soda and mix until no flour is visible. Transfer batter to your pan and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes prior to removing from pan. Allow to cool completely if decorating with whip cream and berries. You can also just top with some powdered sugar to serve. I also topped mine with some lemon zest as a final garnish.

KETO VANILLA CAKE

Steps:

• First, make the topping. Strain the yogurt using a cheesecloth or milk bag for at least 2 hrs or overnight. Whisk the strained yogurt with the vanilla extract and xylitol. Keep chilled while you make the sponge.
• Heat the oven to 160C/180C fan/gas mark 4. Soak a sheet of baking parchment with water, then crumple it and wring it out. Use it to line a 22cm springform tin. In a clean, dry bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.
• In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, egg yolks, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Add the almond flour, xylitol, sunflower seed flour, baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Gently fold the whites and baking powder into the mixture.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake at 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4 for 15 mins, then reduce the temperature to 160C/140C fan/gas mark 3 and bake for a further 15 mins. The cake is ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out a bit sticky but without batter clinging to it. Keep an eye on the cake during the last few minutes because it can brown suddenly.
• Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely before releasing it from the tin and placing it on a serving platter. Spread the icing over the top and serve. Will keep chilled for up to three days.
