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.
In love with this piece 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I just made this with the tapioca flour and it has come out much flatter than yours. I also used full fat greek vanilla yoghurt. Any ideas how I can improve it next time? is cornstarch better?
Turned out really well even though I used a 9″ springform pan! Good texture. Good to have a versatile sugar-free, gluten free dessert option.
Can I use all purpose flour instead of corn starch or the tapioca flour?
Love it!
This is wonderful. I added maple syrup and vanilla. I made it in a 9 inch cake pan so it was flatter than the picture. I made strawberry syrup and whipped cream to go on top. Excellent! I was thinking I could double the ingredients next time and see if it’s thicker or I could buy a smaller pan.
Have you ever added protein powder to your 3 ingredient yogurt cake?
Delicious! Gorgeous! Divine! I added 1/4 cup of sugar, fresh lemon zest, and fresh blueberries.
I made it for breakfast in portioned forms, added a pinch of salt and served immediately with ham and grilled cherry tomatoes. Simple, fast, tasty and super healthy, thanks for the great recipe!
Hi, Stella. Do you know if this recipe can be made a 0% Greek Yogurt?
great protein breakfast. mine didnt rise though. maybe i could add extra egg white? that would also up the protein.
HI Marlee, it could work but i havent tried it so I cannot say for sure it will work with extra egg whites! Please come back and let us know if you do try it out! Thank you so much!
This recipe is exactly what I needed, thank you.
I subbed grass fed whole milk yogurt since I did not have Greek style yogurt on hand, added a dash of vanilla and it worked perfectly.
I topped mine with some fresh blackberries, a bit of heavy cream and a sprinkle of cardamom. Absolutely delicious and healthy way to begin the day and a welcome change to my traditional kale and eggs breakfasts.
Made this recipe this morn8ng. Looks like it turned out! I used individual ramekins sprayed with oil spray. Just making some strawberry topping. They look great!
Amaaaaaaazing tried it yesterday best ingredient combo so far thank youuuuu!!!!
Hi Amira, awesome! Glad you tried it and liked it!
It’s a great and healthy dessert! I used 2% yogurt. I served with just a drizzle of honey and berries. I would suggest adding 1 tsp vanilla, as I use to do with sweet dishes with eggs in the ingredients. Thank you, Stella!
Hi Sonia, glad you tried this enjoyed the cake! cheers!
Can this batter be baked in a silicone muffin tray?
Boa noite! Recomendo!!!
