Three-Ingredient Yogurt Cake (Flourless)

This yogurt cake racked up nearly 400,000 views on my Israeli Instagram when I posted it. And honestly? It deserves every one of them.

It’s incredibly delicious—just ask the dozens of people who have already made it and sent me photos. The yogurt cake is wonderfully easy to prepare, slices beautifully, and doesn’t contain a speck of flour.

All you have to do is whisk together three ingredients and pour the batter into a pan. From there, the oven does all the work.

Make sure you read the notes at the end of the recipe—they’re important.

And yes, you can use almost any yogurt you like. Sweetened or unsweetened. Regular, high-protein, dairy-free, or traditional dairy yogurt. You can even replace part of the yogurt with ricotta, cream cheese, or sour cream. I’ve explained everything below.

Ingredients

18 ounces (500 grams) sweetened yogurt of your choice (about 2 cups) OR 2 cups plain yogurt + ½ cup granulated or powdered sugar
5 large eggs
6 tablespoons instant vanilla pudding mix

Instructions

- Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C).
- Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with parchment paper. Don't use a larger pan or the cake will bake up too thin.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and eggs until smooth.
- Add the pudding mix (or cornstarch, which if using, should be sifted into the bowl with a sieve so it is lump-free) and whisk thoroughly until completely incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
- Let the cake cool at room temperature for a few minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator until completely chilled. The cake will sink as it cools, especially around the edges. That's completely normal.
- Slice only after the cake is fully chilled.

Notes

- If using sweetened yogurt (vanilla, strawberry, peach, etc.) there's no need to add additional sugar. If you'd like a sweeter dessert, you can always serve it with maple syrup, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, or a spoonful of jam.
- If using plain, unsweetened yogurt add ½ cup sugar or your preferred sweetener. Anything from maple syrup to sugar substitutes will work. If your pudding mix is already sweetened, you may find that ⅓ cup sugar is enough.
- Can I use plant-based yogurt? Yes. High-protein? Absolutely.
- You can replace up to half of the yogurt with ricotta, sour cream, light cream cheese or Farmer’s cheese. Just keep the total amount at 18 ounces (500 grams).
- Want to kick this up a notch? Mix 1 container (about 8 ounces / 225 grams) sour cream with
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Spread gently over the cake after it has cooled slightly. It creates a cool, creamy layer that works beautifully with the tangy cake.
- Want more ideas? Add any of the following to the batter: 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, seeds from 1 vanilla bean, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, zest from ½ lemon or ½ orange.
