How to Prepare the Microwave Yogurt Cake
Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form using the electric mixer.
Place the yolks in a separate bowl and add the erythritol.
Quickly beat with the mixer.
Then add the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl with the yolks and mix with the mixer.
Also add the cornstarch and baking powder and mix to blend the cream.
Finally, add the whipped egg whites and fold them in gently from bottom to top with a spatula to avoid deflating them and to create a light batter.
Butter and flour the craftina and pour the mixture into it.
Cook in the microwave using the combi-2 function for 15 minutes.
Cover the yogurt cake with a sheet of parchment paper to prevent the surface from browning too much and continue cooking for another 8 minutes.
Once cooked, let the yogurt cake cool completely before flipping it onto a serving plate.
Dust the surface with some powdered sugar and serve with jam or topping of your choice.
How to Store the Microwave-Baked Yogurt Cake
Store the microwave yogurt cake in the fridge for up to 3 days.
