3 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Cake (No Sugar Added, Low Carb, Gluten Free)
This is awesome because it’s flourless and refined sugar free and ONLY 3 ingredients. You can use tapioca flour, arrowroot powder or corn starch as the thickening agent. The Greek yogurt gives it a creamy and thick texture. And the eggs are what makes it fluffy.
PLEASE NOTE: this recipe is a no sugar added cake. It has a custard like texture. If you want to add sugar to the cake that’s cool too, just add 1/4 cup to the yogurt in the beginning and mix it in before adding in the eggs. You can also use vanilla flavored Greek yogurt too for some sweetness.
I highly recommend topping with some sweet fruit like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or mangos. I also sprinkled on some powdered sugar. Youcan also try some shaved chocolate or fruit compote since there is no sugar added to the recipe.
Please make sure you follow the instructions on letting the cake cool for 30 minutes and then transferring the cake to the fridge to set and chill for at least 2 hours. If you skip this step, the cake will taste eggy. Next, remove the cake 15 minutes prior to serving to let it come to room temperature to slice and serve.

3 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Cake (No Sugar Added + Low Carb)
Ingredients
- 1½ cups 5% Greek yogurt
- 4 eggs
- 5 tbs tapioca flour (or corn starch)
Optional Topping Ideas:
- Fresh Fruit, Honey, Maple Syrup, Powdered Sugar, Shaved Chocolate, Lemon Zest, Orange Zest
Instructions
- *PLEASE NOTE: this recipe is a no sugar added cake. It has a custard like texture. If you want to add sugar to the cake that's cool too, just add 1/4 cup to the yogurt in the beginning and mix it in before adding in the eggs. You can also sub in Vanilla Greek Yogurt for some sweetness.
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Spray your 6 inch round spring form pan with oil and then line it with parchment paper. I like to scrunch my paper and then it is more pliable to shape to the pan.
- To a large bowl add the yogurt and then whisk in your eggs. Once that batter is silky smooth, next sift in your cornstarch (or tapioca flour) and whisk until incorporated and the batter is smooth. Transfer the batter to your prepped pan and bake for 1 hour or until the top is puffed up and is golden brown. Remove from oven and within a minute the top will deflate – that's what we want. Let it cool for 30 minutes and then transfer the cake to the fridge. Don't remove it from the pan during this process. Cool in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set. Remove the cake from the fridge 15 minutes prior to serving.
- Optional and Recommended: Top with some berries, honey, powdered sugar, shaved chocolate or fruit compote since there is no sugar added to the recipe.
Hello! Love your recipes!
Can I substitute corn starch for potato starch?
Hi Mariam, thank you so much!
And yes you can!
Is it possible to double this recipe?
Hi! I made this cake today and was really excited to try it. I followed the instructions faithfuly except I’m in the land of Oz so had to use just Greek natural yoghurt (we can’t but 2% or 5% or whatever). Anyway, everything seemed to go well just like the photos! But when we came to eat it (served with fresh blackberries and a little honey and a little more yoghurt), the cake was very dense and nowhere as nice as I thought it would be. Maybe too much cornflour? I was interested to read a comment on here that said someone had forgotten to add any sort of flour at all, just the yoghurt and eggs, and it had turned out fine! What do you think?
If you can, please provide the portion sizes for your delicious recipes. They all look wonderful and healthy. Portion size is also though important. Thanks
Hi Jody, the portion sizes are included in all of my recipes at the top of the recipe box. Enjoy!
Trying to do low carb and high protein diet and tried this. Unfortunately mine turned out like a pancake, even after letting it sit in the pan for 30 minutes and then transferring to fridge. I used corn starch and 2 % Fage greek yogurt. It’s definitely not sweet, but with a little honey and berries, it jazzes it up some.
Loved this. Easy and delicious . I just added a little powdered sugar and strawberries.
I found the structure to be very massive, and therefore i didn’t like it that much. AlsoWhat should i do to get it more airy?
And without any kind of sweetness it tastes like nothing really
Can this be made with 8 egg whites instead of 4 whole eggs? Thanks
look’s.lovely going to make it tomorrow.
Hi Bernie, hope you liked it!
What if use larger spring form pan? Would we up yogurt by 1/2 cup?
Hi Beverly, All ingredients would have to be increased proportionally.
Hello, I made this cake today and it stuck to the parchment paper. Do you have advice on how to prevent it from sticking?
Hi Kristen, just spray with oil or /grease butter the parchment next time. Mine never stick though
Hi Stella,
I just received my potato starch today so I will be making this tomorrow morning. My question is that if I were to add 2 tablespoons of oat fiber, would it still work? I feel that a little fiber added will help with the carbs. Do you think the cake will still turn out creamy and custard-like?
Thank you Stella. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cat
Hi Stella,
Would I be able to use potato starch or Sunflour in place of tapioca starch?
Thank you!
Hi Cat, yes you can sub in another starch for sure or flour!
Yay! Thank you, Stella. I’m excited to make this😋
Hi Stella, I have used fat free (0%) Greek yogurt and it’s worked beautifully!
Hi Susan, great to know – thanks for sharing !! Cheers!
Do you have a choclate version of this? I wondered if I could use cocao powder instead of the tapioca starch but wasn’t sure if the texture would be right.
Omg this cake was amazing. I added stevia and vanilla extract. I only had fat free Greek yogurt but it still came out fabulous. Reminded me of European cheese cake. The macros are dream come true for any fitness enthusiast.
