Greek Yogurt Cake

This wonderful Greek yogurt cake is incredibly moist and fluffy. It is healthy too. Made with almond flour and stevia, it is low carb and gluten free. But you’ll never know it by the taste and texture!

I think I like this Greek yogurt cake even better than my almond flour cake, which is also very good.

The taste of this Greek yogurt cake resembles pound cake, even though it contains no butter.

I use Strauss Greek yogurt, which is incredibly thick, even compared to other full fat Greek yogurts. I’m pretty sure that this recipe would work with other brands. But if there’s any liquid on top of your Greek yogurt, do pour it out, to make the yogurt as thick as possible.

I wanted to make this Greek yogurt cake as pretty as possible for the photographs. So I dusted it with a small amount of Swerve Confectioners. But this is purely optional, and normally I don’t do it.

At 190 calories and 4 grams net carbs per slice, go ahead and indulge! I consider this Greek yogurt cake as healthy enough to be a breakfast cake. I often have a slice for breakfast!

Notes

*I use stevia glycerite in this recipe to keep it low carb. I like stevia glycerite because it lacks the bitter aftertaste typical to other stevia products. I believe that stevia is safe, but in case you want to use another sweetener, here's a conversion chart. Please keep in mind that I only tested this recipe with stevia.
