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.
Mine came out rubbery but good flavor. I used 2 Good coconut Greek yogurt and vanilla extract. I think I will try again, bake for 30 minutes turn off the oven, and let it sit in there for 20 or so minutes with the door ajar and maybe it won’t be rubbery.
Can I remove cake from pan after 2 hours if not using till next day? Also do I double all ingredients including eggs?
Can you use psyllium as a replacement for the corn starch?
Made it with vanilla greek yogurt and i added a little sugar, was delicious, only thing is , it formed a skin in the fridge, so i just cut it off, next time ill cover with a piece of wax paper or something, otherwise delicious!!
The taste is just ok because i am a sugar addict, which is why I love this recipe I am trying to behave. I think it has a lot of promise if you add lemon or orange zest. So many possibilities with this awesome cake. I am so excited you posted this recipe!
How many eggs?? Not listed in the 3 ingredients.
I used 0% Fage greek yogurt, added 1/8 tsps salt, 1/4 cup monkfruit sweetener and a splash of vanilla extract and it turned out great! I topped it with whipped cream I made with heavy cream and monfruit sweetener. Perfect for a Keto diet.
This just came out of the oven. I’m a WW girl, so this is perfect. I used Oikos Zero Strawberry Non fat yogurt with about 2 tsps of lemon zest, if smells wonderful. Going in the fridge now :),
Used nonfat vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract and two table spoons of sugar and it was sooo good! Definite a dense puddingy cake but it reminds me of my favorite Bangladeshi dessert, mishti doi, a caramel pudding. So many ways to go with it and the macros are just incredible. I plan on making it weekly 🙂
I made it with Light and Fit flavored Greek yogurt and it was amazing. I can’t wait to try other variations.
I made it today, I added one scoop vanilla protein powder to the greek yogurt. The texture and taste are amazing! Thanks for your wonderful recipe! 😍😋😋🫶🏽👌🏾
Hi Marial, thanks so much for the great feedback! Glad you liked it!
Hello, please… by corn starch you mean corn flour? Or literally corn starch? I added corn starch and it tastes weird (bitter like I would say). Otherwise a good recepee!
Thank you ♥
Did and its amazing, thanks
What if it this cake only puffed up slightly…and then fell, while still in the oven. I think my oven didn’t get enough heat. .smells amazing. I did add sweetend flaked coconut and will put mango on top. Hoping for dessert taste.
I made this recipe!!!! OMG!!!! I didn’t have a 6 inch springform pan so I used a square 8×8 pan and it came out great. My husband was pleasantly surprised, and as we have friends who are gluten-free, this is a recipe I will definitely be making. Thank you for these delicious recipes that are so easy!!!!
hi..can I use regular full fat non flavored yogurt? and not greek
