Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 grams Non-fat plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a small amount of cooking spray, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
Separate the egg yolks and whites into two different large bowls. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, which usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Gradually add the granulated sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
Step 5
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the vanilla extract, non-fat plain yogurt, and lemon zest. Whisk until well combined.
Step 6
Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites using a spatula, ensuring not to deflate the egg whites.
Step 7
Sift the flour mixture over the egg mixture in three additions, folding gently after each addition until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 11
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack, remove the parchment paper, and let it cool completely before serving. Enjoy your Low Fat Bizcocho!
