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.
This was delicious, great texture and perfect with some fresh fruit on top. Will be making it again, thanks!
The flour measurement is tbs. Is that tsp or tbsp?
Hubby and I love this cake. Just made it today. I added 3 TBS of honey. I topped my slice with homemade peach butter and hubby had hot fudge on his slice. Next time I may add vanilla paste or some lemon zest.
Great cake!
I am diabetic, so this recipe caught my eye. I made it with a little less than 1/4 cup of organic Vermont maple syrup and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla. Followed the instructions and it baked and cooled as stated in the recipe. I served it topped with strawberries and mandarin sections tossed with Fig Balsamic vinegar by Texas Olive Ranch. It was delicious!
How do I post a photo of my dessert?

The first time without sugar we didn’t liked it at all (and we’re no sugar freaks HAha)
The recipe WITH sugar and some vanilla essence was delicious!!! We added some wineberries on it: superb!
Next time I try it with plant-based Vanilla-yoghurt ;)) thanks for sharing it was definitely worth while!
My cake turned out beautifully—just like your picture. I topped my slice with slow-roasted strawberries I’d made a couple of days ago and that was all it needed. No powdered sugar. I love the texture of the cake and I love how quick and easy it is to make. I was dubious, but I’m a believer. Many thanks for the recipe.
Hi Betty, glad you enjoyed the cake! And thanks for the kind review!
i like it 😍😍
so easy so delicious 😋😋😋
Hi Renad, happy you enjoyed the cake!
What fruits go well mixed in with the batter? Want to make it this weekend
I would do blueberries, fully dried!
Can I use potato starch or rice flour?
Made this with 2% Greek vanilla yogurt according to recipe. It looked fabulous! However the custard itself was rather tasteless. The texture was faintly ‘crumbly’. The fruit garnish made it look absolutely beautiful for serving. Sadly nobody had more than one bite. Maybe it was the yogurt. Correction: I used cornstarch

Can I use lactose free yogurt?
I don’t have a spring pan. Does it have to be that?
The first time I made this cake I only had a 10″ pan. It still came out deliciously. I bought a 6″ pan and tried making it today. I used the same measurements but the batter overflowed the pan. I checked and rechecked my measuring. So disappointed. I guess I’ll have to try with an 8″ pan. What could have gone wrong?
Hello! Any reason I couldn’t make this in ramekins for single servings, to be eaten out of the cup? Thanks !
Hi Amy, yes you can! just less bake time!
