To create the perfect Light & Fluffy Yogurt Cloud Cake, the first crucial step is to properly mix the yogurt batter. Begin by combining the Greek yogurt, eggs, and any sweeteners in a large mixing bowl. Whisk them together until you achieve a smooth and uniform mixture. The yogurt should be at room temperature to ensure that it blends seamlessly with the other ingredients, creating a creamy base that contributes to the cake's light texture.

Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

4 large eggs, separated

1 cup granulated sugar, divided

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest (if using) until well blended. Gradually add this mixture to the yogurt mixture, stirring until just combined.

        Whip the Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.

          Fold the Mixtures Together: Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the yogurt batter to lighten it. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

            Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.

                Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature, optionally with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra cloud-like experience!
