Gluten-Free Yogurt Cake





This is the same yogurt cake I shared a few days ago, but made with gluten-free flour this time. I promise it turns out just as good.

Ingredients

  • 500g Schär Mix Dolci gluten-free flour.
  • 4 whole eggs.
  • 1 plain yogurt.
  • 600g sugar.
  • 500g milk.
  • 250g olive oil.
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon.
  • 3 packets of Bioreal Bio-Backpulver baking powder.
  • Extra sugar for sprinkling on top.

Preparation

  1. Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and lemon zest until the mixture doubles in volume.
  2. Add the yogurt, milk, and oil, and keep beating. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then gradually fold them into the batter until everything is well combined.
  3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and pour in the batter. Sprinkle sugar over the top.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 to 50 minutes.

Time: 15 minutes + baking time

Notes

Since this batter stays quite runny, it helps to put the cake in the oven for 2 minutes before sprinkling the sugar on top. This creates a thin layer that can hold the sugar better.
You can also use Hacendado baking powder, which is gluten-free.
