1 ¾ cups sweetened vanilla yogurt approx 400 grams See Notes for yogurt variations
4 eggs
5 Tbsps corn starch approx 40 grams

Preheat oven to 340° F. (340°-not a typo). Spray the inside of a 7" springform pan or a flat bottom casserole dish with cooking spray. See notes if you don't have a springform pan. Tear off a piece of parchment paper big enough to go up the sides of the pan and clear a couple of inches above the rim. Press it on to the bottom and in to the edges as best you can. It will be wrinkled but will give a rustic appearance to your finished cake.
Pour yogurt into a bowl. (If adding honey do it now. See Notes). Whisk eggs in one at a time until they are thoroughly mixed in. Sift cornstarch into batter whisking the entire time.
When batter is smooth and fully mixed pour it in to the prepared pan. Bake approximately 50 minutes until cake is browned and wrinkled on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool about 30 minutes. Gently remove the cake from the pan and remove the parchment paper. Transfer cake to a plate and refrigerate at least one hour. Remove from fridge about 20 minutes before serving. It is creamier and tastier at room temperature.
Serve garnished with icing sugar, whipped cream and/or fresh fruit as desired.
Leftover keep well in the fridge but the cake gets stiffer and less light as time goes on.

Nutrition does not include garnishes.

Notes:

You can use any type of yogurt. low fat, regular or Greek. If you use unsweetened yogurt then add 2-3 Tbps of honey to the yogurt and mix in well.
If you don't have a springform pan use a casserole dish with a flat bottom so the mixture will be a uniform depth. Line that with parchment making sure the parchment edges go well up the sides so you have an edge to grab hold of when it is time to lift the cake out. Pick up instructions at Step 6.
If you plan on serving as dessert you can consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or other extract flavouring such a maple or coconut.
Garnish with whipped cream, fruit, etc as desired.
Allow cake to come to room temperature before serving for best flavour.
