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 made this in a 22 x 15 cm pan, and it was fine.
I forgot to add sweetener or sugar to it before baking, so I had to pour on the top of the slices some agave syrup, besides the chopped fruits.
I can imagine this also as a salty base, and add to the yoghurt spices and maybe top it when serving with fried bacon, or mushrooms, or spinach… I think this could work together with almost anything.
How many calories are in 1/6 serving? I was having trouble figuring it out.
95 cals (71 X 8÷6). Think I will want a bigger slice, too!
Made according to recipe, just added a bit of vanilla and lemon zest. Served with strawberries. Delicious. Did not need sweetener, in my opinion. Used Fage 2% Greek yogurt. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it’s a winner!
Loved this! So easy and I loved the texture. I used nonfat Greek yogurt and tapioca starch (didn’t have tapioca flour). Also added 1/4 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract and it turned out great!
Love this recipe although mine did not rise as high as your picture. Maybe my oven is too hot? It was well and truly browned on top after 40mins. I used lactose free Greek yogurt which worked fine. Topped with raspberries and strawberries. Delish
Can flavored Greek yogurt be used??
Hi Pam absoltely!!
nice recipe👍🌹
Hi keen to make this. I’m in Australia, our tablespoon size is different to most of the world. What weight would a tablespoon you use be please?
Where is the trans fat coming from?
I used vanilla no sugar yogurt, and followed instructions to a T, it was excellent. I wasn’t brought up on sugar so coming from UK I found recipes have way too much sugar in this Country, so this was really good …
number of servings?
Could I make it in a bundt pan with no parchment or will it stick?
Hi Alison, I would not use a bundt pan and you definitely need the parchment
Thank you. So you use a round cake pan or square or doesn’t it matter?
This tastes like punishment.
This is a great recipe. you can tweak the sweetness of the cake. I like it just the way it’s written & the put fruit on top.
Great recipe! I also added about a teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 cup xylitol to sweeten it. I really think this is an awesome high protein cheesecake “swap”. Well done! Thanks for the great recipe!
HI Claudine, So happy it was a winner for you! Thanks for the super review! Cheers!
This looks delicious. It looks very pretty too.
Can I use coconut flour instead of tapioca four??
