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.
Simple and delicious. Love it.
if I added quarter of cup of sugar do you know how much calories it would contain?
Made it in a 9 inch springform. Doubled the recipe and needed to bake for 70 minutes. Came out perfect.
HI Willy, glad you enjoyed the cake and thanks for sharing your feedback with us!
I am getting ready to make this tomorrow and also doubling the recipe. I have a 10 inch spring pan so I’m assuming to bake it for about 70 minutes. Also, did you double the corn starch??
This is a good recipe, especially if you’re a diabetic or are making dinner for people who are diabetic. I used muffin cups because I didn’t have a 6″ springform pan. Word to the wise, it takes about 30-35 mins in a regular oven in the muffin tins. Also, use the aluminum muffin liners, not paper. I had a mixture of both types. The aluminum liners had good cakes that popped right out. The cake in the paper liners tended to stick to the sides so the presentation wasn’t as pretty.
Hi Colleen, thanks for sharing your feedback with us! I know it will be useful to many people!
I gave one star because you don’t give the baking in the oven. You are not serious. Hidden the temperature. How many degrees in the oven. You’re not telling us the full recipe … you say 1 hour in the oven, but what’s the temperature
The temperature is clearly listed in Step 2 of the instructions
It’s clearly stated. Remove your bad review.
Mirtha,
Maybe it’s time to get your eyes examined?
Are you serious? It’s all there.
I’m giving you zero stars for your negative comments! READ the instructions more carefully BEFORE criticizing someone’s work.
Wow!!!!
Hi Donna, glad you liked the cake!
has anyone made this adding sugar and cocoa powder?
I made this recipe really good, I added naughty sugar, and topped it with passion fruit
Hi Cindy, that sounds INCREDIBLE!
What is naughty sugar??? 👀
REAL sugar LOL
I’m assuming she means regular sugar
Hi Cindy! How much cocoa powder and sugar did you add?
How hot is th oven temperature?????
350 F
Hello, this recipe looks amazing but I haven’t actually made it yet. Just wondering if you use same measurement for Tapioca flour as Cornstarch. I’ve read that the conversion is more like 2 to 1. Please advise. Thanks!
Hi Susan, I usually bake and cook one to one with tapioca and cornstarch. I hope this helps!
What temperature should the cake be when fully baked?
Can I substitute regular flour for cornstarch?
HI Patricia, should work!
I made this tonight. It came out like a cake, not puffy or crispy and flakey on the outside. The centre was moist like a cheese cake but the outer one third of the cake was hard and rubbery. I baked it for an hour but wondering if I should have baked it for less time. I added a little sweetner to the yoghurt, which in my opinion is a must and topped it with blueberry compote.
I’ll try again tomorrow and see how my second attempt comes out.
what oven temperature do you need as can’t see it posted.
Hi Margaret, the oven temperature is listed in Step 2, at 350F. Enjoy!
Can I use xanthan gum for the cornstarch?
Hi Lucille, should work but I haven’t tried to say for certain!
Hi do you have to use a spring form pan?
Hi Jane, Yes, I would recommend it but I’m sure using just parchment paper would work too.
hello, can I use greek yogurt that contain sugar already ?
Hi Jenika absolutely!
