Best ways to enjoy it
To elevate your yogurt cake experience, try serving it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some fresh berries for a delightful contrast of flavors. You could even serve it alongside whipped cream for that extra touch of indulgence!
How to store
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, storing your yogurt cake is quite simple. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy it later as a frozen treat, slice the cake, wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to a month. Just remember to thaw it in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best results, make sure your yogurt is at room temperature before mixing. This will help it blend more smoothly with the eggs and cornstarch. Additionally, avoid overmixing once you add the cornstarch; you want to maintain that lovely, airy texture. If you’d like an additional depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract or citrus zest to the mixture!
Creative twists
Your creativity can shine here! Consider trying different flavored yogurts or incorporating mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits. For a seasonal touch, you can also spice it up with a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg. If you’re catering to dietary restrictions, you could easily substitute eggs with yogurt or silken tofu for vegan alternatives!
