Ingredients
Scale
4 large eggs (separated)
1.5 cups non fat Greek yogurt (350 g/12.5 oz)
⅓ cup monkfruit sweetener (70 g/2.5 oz)
⅓ cup cornstarch (40 g/1.4 oz)
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Separate yolks from egg whites, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites as they must beat to stiff peaks.
Pour egg whites into a bowl of an electric mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer the egg whites to another bowl; this allows you to use the mixer for the yolks.
Add monkfruit sweetener and vanilla extract to the egg yolks and cream until light and fluffy.
After creaming the yolks, mix in the yogurt until well combined.
Sift cornstarch into the egg and yogurt mixture, then mix until integrated.
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt batter until just combined.
Line a 7 by 11 inch dish with parchment paper and pour the batter in.
Place the baking dish on a larger baking sheet and add boiling water to the larger sheet, enough to submerge the smaller dish by about 1/4 to 1/3.
Bake at 330°F (160°C) for 45 minutes. Raise the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cake cool for about 1 to 2 hours.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Consider freezing individual slices by wrapping them in plastic wrap.
