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.
I would love to do a 12″ pan! I know I’ll have to double the recipe, would the cooking time be the same! I Love ur recipes!
I would extend the bake time by another 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean!
Hi!
How long can this cake last in the fridge before it isn’t good anymore? Thanks !
Hi Annick, I would say 3-4 days in an air tight container.
I add cream cheese and baking it right now hope it will turn out good
It should work! But please let us know what happened!
just found your website due to a pintrest search. as a recently diagnosed diabetic i am so happy to find several recipes that i can try. my question on this recipe is – do you drain your yogurt and if so is the measurement a before or after draining?
can this recipe yogurt cheesecake can it be frozen , defrosted and reheated back up again ?
Started WW again and was looking for recipes with low points for dessert and this really fits the bill for their program — 0 points! I used Kirkland’s Organic Nonfat Greek Plain Yogurt and I added 1/4 cup Monk Fruit Lakanto sweetener, the juice of 2 small lemons and peel of one and used tapioca flour. I was able to 3/4 fill 10 paper baking cups in a muffin tin and baked on 325 with convection in my oven for 27 minutes. I also added 9 frozen blueberries by hand to each cup. They look like cute little tarts and I have other ideas as well I will be trying. One involves sugar free chocolate Jell-o pudding mix! They might work with pumpkin and spices as well using some canned pumpkin in place of some of the yogurt. Hmmmm . . .
I’m on WW too and was thinking about some recipe flavoring options. Since you’ve already done it I’ll ride on your coattails – lol. At what point did you add the lemon zest and lemon juice? And the artificial sweetener? Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sarah, just to jump in really quick in case Sandi doesnt respond too lol.. you would add the sweetener and lemon in at the beginning with the yogurt. Enjoy!
I burnt mime. Did I need to cover the pan.? Plus I used an airfrier baking option. Help!
Is it actually 71 calories in each serving?
I just made this using cream top yogurt and added the zest of 1 orange and it was delicious! Topped with fresh berries and drizzled with honey. I made another one to share with a friend that I put Meyer lemon and orange zest into. I like that this recipe is sugar free, especially since I can drizzle it with honey but I don’t have a sweet tooth so it’s perfect. I like the tip about crumpling the parchment paper too.
Is your calorie count per serving or for the whole cake?
per serving!
Hi, does this freeze OK, I live alone and don’t want to eat a whole cake in a few days
Hi do you know how much the yougurt wheighed?
340 grams
I have a 9-1/2 inch springform pan. How long should I bake it? What if I double it?
Thanks,
Nancy
It’s already good!
I waited only the 30 minutes before sampling. Also added 1/4 cup of xylitol to the recipe so it is deliciously sweet.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the cake! Thank you for the rating!!
I don’t have a spring pan. Any suggestions?
Can I make this in a cupcake pan with cupcake liners for mini-cakes?
Hi Kristin, I havent tried that out but it should work at a lot less bake time!
In the Uk, us corn starch corn flour?
Yes
I used organic nonfat Greek yogurt from Costco. The cake came out perfect! I topped it with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Delicious, I’m actually eating it right now 😀
Hi Maria, you nailed the cake! well done! Thank you so much for trying it out and leaving such a nice comment!
