How to Make the Viral Turkish Yoghurt Cake: A Cloud-Like Delight
If you have been scrolling through social media lately, you’ve likely seen a wobbly, golden-topped, and incredibly airy dessert: The Turkish Yoghurt Cake. Often described as a cross between a soufflé and a cheesecake, this cake is taking the UK by storm because it is low in flour, high in protein, and incredibly easy to make.
Why the Secret is in the Yoghurt
The key to the perfect texture isn't the technique—it is the quality of the ingredients. To get that signature tang and creamy structure, you need authentic, thick yoghurt. Using watery, low-fat versions will make the cake collapse.
For the best results, we recommend using Bodrum Foods Authentic Turkish Yoghurt. Its high fat content and strained consistency provide the necessary stability for the "cloud" effect.
Ingredients You Will Need
To recreate this masterpiece at home, gather these high-quality ingredients from our shop:
- 400g Bodrum Strained Yoghurt
- 4 Large Eggs (Separated)
- 100g Granulated Sugar
- 40g Cornflour (for that gluten-free lightness)
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
Step 1: The Creamy Base
Start by mixing your egg yolks with the sugar until pale. Stir in the Turkish Yoghurt and cornflour. Ensure there are no lumps—this is the foundation of your cake.
Step 2: The Fluffy Peaks
In a separate clean bowl, whisk your egg whites with a dash of lemon juice. You are looking for stiff peaks. This air is what makes the cake "viral-worthy" and light.
Step 3: Folding and Baking
Gently fold the egg whites into the yoghurt mixture. Do not overmix! Pour into a lined baking tin and bake at 160°C for about 50-60 minutes until the top is dark golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
While the cake is delicious on its own, it pairs perfectly with a drizzle of Bodrum Pine Honey or a side of fresh berries.
