If you’ve been craving a dessert that’s incredibly soft, cloud-like, and not overly sweet, this Soufflé Fluffy Yogurt Cake needs to be the next thing you bake. This recipe has been trending everywhere because it’s simple, budget-friendly, and turns out shockingly good even if you’re not an experienced baker.

What I love about this cake is how few ingredients it needs. No fancy equipment, no complicated steps — just a handful of everyday items you probably already have at home. It’s the kind of dessert you make once and suddenly everyone starts asking for the recipe. It’s perfect for tea time, brunch, holiday gatherings, or when you want a beautiful dessert that looks impressive but takes very little effort.

🍰 Ingredients
1 cup plain yogurt
3 large eggs (separated)
1⁄4 cup sugar
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon juice (optional but brightens the flavor)
Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a round cake pan with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
- In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, egg yolks, vanilla, and flour until smooth.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites with the sugar, lemon juice, and salt until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the meringue into the yogurt mixture in 3 parts — be gentle so you don’t deflate it.
- Pour the batter into your pan.
- Place the cake pan inside a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish halfway with hot water (water bath).
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center jiggles slightly.
- Crack the oven door and let it cool slowly for 10–15 minutes to prevent shrinking.
- Chill for at least 1 hour for best texture.
✨ Tips for the Fluffiest Soufflé Cake
✔ Make sure the egg whites are whipped properly — they create the “cloud” texture
✔ Don’t skip the water bath; it prevents cracking and keeps the cake moist
✔ Fold gently — you want to keep as much air as possible
✔ Refrigerate before slicing for the cleanest cut
