Greek Hazelnut and Yogurt cake - Real Recipes from Mums

No flour … No milk ,This recipe intrigued me. It's a moist dense consistency … and quite yummy !

Ingredients (makes 1 cake)

3 large eggs,separated
2/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons greek yogurt
160 grams hazelnut meal

Method

Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thick and creamy
Stir in the yogurt, lemon zest and hazelnut meal
In another bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff. Carefully fold into hazelnut mixture
Pour batter into a 23 cm round, paper lined cake tin and bake at 180 deg. for 30- 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle
Cool in tin

Notes

This cake rises in the oven then settles when cooling to produce a dense but not heavy cake. Lemony and nutty , it is a quick and easy cake thats also gluten free. Serve with yogurt, cream or fresh fruit slices

I love Greek food!
I’ve never come across this dessert though but I need to try it as it sounds yummy with that hazelnut meal which I’ve also never tried before.

Too much sugar for my liking, but the rest of the ingredients are beautiful.
