How to Make Steamed Yogurt Cake: A Simple Recipe Guide

Steamed yogurt cake is a light, fluffy, and healthy dessert that requires no oven. Here’s a simple guide to making it at home.

Ingredients:

- 150g plain yogurt (room temperature)

- 60g sugar (adjust to taste)

- 2 large eggs (separate yolks and whites)

- 80g all-purpose flour

- 1 tsp baking powder

- A pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Prepare batter: Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale. Add yogurt and mix well. Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt; fold gently until smooth.

2. Whip egg whites: In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold into the yolk mixture in 3 batches, maintaining airiness.

3. Steam: Pour batter into a greased mold. Cover with parchment paper and secure with a lid (or foil). Steam over medium heat for 25-30 minutes.

4. Serve: Insert a toothpick to check doneness (it should come out clean). Cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy plain or with honey/fruits!

Tips:

- Use full-fat yogurt for richer flavor.

- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep it tender.

- Ensure the steamer water is simmering, not boiling, for even cooking.

This cake is moist, nutritious, and perfect for breakfast or afternoon tea!
