Description
This Flourless Cinnamon Yogurt Cake is everything you want in a cozy bake — moist, warmly spiced, and completely gluten-free. Greek yogurt gives it the perfect tenderness while almond flour adds a subtle nuttiness. It’s simple, wholesome, and irresistibly good — the kind of cake that’s just as welcome at brunch as it is after dinner with a cup of tea.
Ingredients
1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred for richness)
3 large eggs, room temperature
¾ cup almond flour
¼ cup cornstarch or arrowroot powder
½ cup granulated sugar or coconut sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Optional topping: cinnamon sugar or chopped nuts
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
Whisk wet ingredients: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, cornstarch, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Mix gently: Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix.
Optional sweetener: Fold in honey or maple syrup for extra moisture.
Bake: Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar or nuts. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool: Let rest 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt and replace honey with maple syrup.
To make mini loaves or muffins, bake 18–22 minutes (muffins) or 25–30 minutes (mini loaves).
Storage: Store covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5. Freeze slices for up to 2 months.
Try adding chopped apples, chocolate chips, or raisins for flavor variations.
