1 tbsp cornstarch (optional for extra fluffiness)

A pinch of salt
✅ Steps:
-
Preheat oven & prepare pan:
-
Heat to 160°C (320°F). Line the bottom of an 8-inch (20cm) springform or round pan with parchment.
-
Wrap the outside of the pan in foil if baking in a water bath.

In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, egg yolks, and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth.

Add flour and cornstarch, whisk until just combined.

Stir in lemon juice or vanilla.

Whip the egg whites:
-
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy.
-
Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat to stiff peaks.
-
-
Combine:
-
Gently fold the egg whites into the yogurt mixture in 3 batches — be gentle to keep the air.

Bake:
-
Pour batter into the pan and bake in a water bath (place pan in a larger dish with 1 inch of hot water) for about 50–60 minutes until set and lightly golden.
-
-
Cool slowly:

Let cool in the oven with the door slightly open to avoid collapsing.

Chill in fridge at least 2 hours for best texture.
