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.
Looked pretty easy. Only 3 ingredients. I used cornstarch because I couldn’t find the tapioca flour. I used coconut Greek yogurt since that is what I had on hand. I am not sure what I did wrong. Mine didn’t come out tall like the picture. Mine was maybe 1/2-1 inch thick. The top was a bit hard while the center was soft and creamy texture. So the center came out right but the top not so. Still not sure why the height was so short. I used an 8 inch spring form pan. That could have been my problem. I will try it again.
This happened to me too Adam. Did you hand whisk yours?
this was a wonderful dish… my cake did stick to the parchment paper (will spray more oil next time).
Hi there –
In the oven as we speak!
Although I should’ve asked before hand (ha ha) if I doubled the recipe – cook time still an hour or longer?
Thank you again! Excited to try it!
we absolutely loved this cake!
Hello, can I use coconut flour instead?
This is just not good. We could not finish even a slice. We did add maple syrup and put strawberries on top.
hi can u use semolina flour instead?
Can I substitute the eggs?
I think you could do a savory cheesecake too…like top with sauteed mushrooms or roasted vegetables. or sun dried tomatoes /bruschetta. Bet it would be great. Definitely WW friendly too. Thanks for the recipe😄
So delicious and unique! It reminds me of a cheese blintz. I added 1/8 cup sugar and a splash of vanilla. Fresh strawberries on top yum!
Hi Lauren, YES thats a great comparison! Thanks for trying the cake and your kind feedback!
I don’t have a spring form pan or parchment paper. Can I just use a pie dish? I’ve lived 66 years without both so far and I’m trying to pair down what I buy now.
Hi just wondering what temperature is everyone cooking there’s at please. Not sure what temperature to cook it on I don’t want to burn it on my first go.
Thanks

Hi Eileen -sorry so long to reply
Used zest of 1 lemon and then squeezed it into the yogurt- probably medium sized
Tastes even better the second and third day!
Just to be sure ~~ you said 5 “tbs” of tapioca flour or cornstarch. That is TABLESPOONS, RIGHT? Thanks.
yes its tablespoons! Enjoy!
1 1/2 cups of yogurt is how many ml ?
I made this the other day in a cheesecake, spring pan, and it really was like cheesecake. It was so good.! I added these maple bourbon, sugar sprinkles to it just a little bit to give it a little flavor, and it came out so good
HI Gwen that sounds so incredible! Love the add ins
