Low Fat Yogurt Cake Recipes

Who doesn’t love a simple and delicious yogurt cake that’s so easy to prepare and involves hardly any cleaning up? All you have to do is mix a few ingredients, all in one bowl, and bake.

This cake is a must, not only is it good, low sugar, and packed with nutrients, but it’s also inexpensive and easy to make. And you know exactly what’s inside the batter!

Friends, this is a foolproof recipe to keep in your back pocket and perfect for any occasion. I baked it thousands of times and it always turns out lovely.

Healthy Greek Yogurt Cake {gf, Low Calorie}

It’s one of the simplest healthy cake you can bake for the whole family, in no time and inexpensive: less than $ 4 (8 servings)!

It’s loaded with yogurt which is highly nutritious, low on calories, and rich in calcium, great for your bones, teeth, hair, skin, nails. I love plain yogurt and try to avoid added sugar, sweeteners, flavors, and fake fruits.

It’s low sugar. I usually choose unrefined cane sugar, less processed than white sugar, but you can use any sugar you have on hand. However, the healthiest tip is reducing the amount of added sugar, whatever it is.

Low Calorie Greek Yogurt Cake

When it comes to cakes,  expeller-pressed canola oil (or cold-pressed olive oil) is my choice. This oil is naturally produced by mechanically squeezing (pressing) the canola seeds and it doesn’t go through an insane amount of processing with chemical solvents.

Plain, low-fat, or flavored yogurt with a “pourable” consistency works well in this recipe. However, I find the real Greek yogurt is too thick and gives a denser texture.

Eggs: possibly use eggs at room temperature and make sure the yogurt is not too cold. The ingredients should be more or less at the same temperature, this is a way to avoid a curdling batter.  But if that happens, don’t worry too much and bake it anyway.

Yogurt Cake Recipes

I love the zesty lemons,  they are always in my fridge alongside my yogurt, hence if I run out of creativity or ingredients, lemon yogurt cake is what I happily end up with. But this yogurt cake is actually a blank canvas for many other delicious ingredients. You can add to this recipe dark chocolate chips, spices, orange zest or whatever you like most.

I put some apricot or orange jam into a small saucepan. I heat gently over low heat until the jam has melted, and if it looks too thick I adjust the consistency with a tiny bit of warm water. When the glaze is the consistency of runny honey, I brush the yogurt cake straight away. Easy peasy.

It keeps well for up 3-4 days at room temperature, in an airtight container. But do not refrigerate: refrigeration dries this cake out! It’s also freezable: wrap the cake, or slices of cake, in plastic wrap (clingfilm), store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month.

You can use tapioca flour, arrowroot powder or corn starch as the thickening agent. The Greek yogurt gives it a creamy and thick texture. And the eggs are what makes it fluffy.

Ambrosia: Low Fat Orange Yogurt Cake

PLEASE NOTE: this recipe is a no sugar added cake. It has a custard like texture. If you want to add sugar to the cake that’s cool too, just add 1/4 cup to the yogurt in the beginning and mix it in before adding in the eggs. You can also use vanilla flavored Greek yogurt too for some sweetness.

I highly recommend topping with some sweet fruit like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or mangos. I also sprinkled on some powdered sugar. Youcan also try some shaved chocolate or fruit compote since there is no sugar added to the recipe.

Please make sure you follow the instructions on letting the cake cool for 30 minutes and then transferring the cake to the fridge to set and chill for at least 2 hours. If you skip this step, the cake will taste eggy. Next, remove the cake 15 minutes prior to serving to let it come to room temperature to slice and serve.
