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.
Am I able to add protein powder to this?
No springform pan. What else can I use?
I really appreciate GF dessert recipes like this. Not overly sweet, just the right fluffy freshness to satisfy. Recipe was easy to follow.
Hi Jeanne, glad you enjoyed the recipe overall! Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Can you substitute protein powder for tapioca?
I love this recipe. I have added granulated monk fruit sweetener and a hefty handful of blueberries, and it is amazing and so satisfying. I also make a sugar free creme anglaise to top it (also using monk fruit sweetener). A wonderful gluten-free, low-carb treat. It’s great for breakfast too.
Hi Mary, so glad you enjoyed the cake and thanks for sharing your feedback with everyone!
How can I accommodate the recipe using an 8″ spring form pan?
I thought I would like this a little more because I tend to like non sweet things, but I didn’t love the sour flavor of the yogurt that came through compared to other similar recipes Ive tried. Even with the fruits added…
I made this yesterday and just had a piece with strawberries and blueberries and a dollop of greek yogurt on top. I have a question – while it was good, it was very thin and very firm. Is that the way it should be, as opposed to creamy? Just wondering if maybe my oven was hotter than it said or it cooked too long? Good tho – and easy to make!
Wish I could leave a picture! This is so good! So easy! I used 2tablespoons sugar and some vanilla. Otherwise followed as is. Will make again!!
Hi Rosanne, glad you liked the cake! Thank you for the glowing review!
Can this cake be made the day before I need it please
Easy, accurate, healthy and delicious! Thank you!
I really like this recipe. I added 1/4-1/2 cup Monkfruit sweetener and a cup of blueberries, and it is so satisfying when I’m craving dessert. Also makes a great breakfast treat.
I made this today with lemon and lime zest and topped with frozen blueberries. (It’s 120° today.) It is amazing!! Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve been making this regularly with a little maple syrup instead of sugar for just a touch of sweetness. Has anyone tried adding cocoa powder for a chocolate version?
Can you add protein powder in this? To make it high protein?
Would like to know the answer too!
And also if some used a hand blender versus whisking as some didn’t get good results for some reason
Am making the cake now. I’ll let you know I think it looks delicious
Made your Mediterranean eggplant tonight with tomatoes mozz cheese breadcrumbs spices. Omg fantastic. Awesome. You are a star!!!!! Thsnk you
