Takes – 10 minutes
Makes – 8-10 slices
Bakes – 60 minutes

Ingredients

• Thick Yoghurt, Greek or Turkish – 500g (about 2 cups)
• Sugar – 150g (3/4 cup)
• Eggs, large – 4
• Cornflour – 40g (about 4 tablespoons)
• Optional Flavouring: Vanilla extract or lemon zest – 1 teaspoon

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170˚C fan. Prepare the 20cm (8 inches) cake tin moisten some baking paper and scrunch it into a ball then press gently into the baking tin.
2. To a large bowl add the yoghurt and sugar then combine using a hand-held mixer until it's dissolved. Add all the eggs, cornflour and either a little vanilla or lemon zest for extra flavour, then mix again until smooth (only for a minute).
3. Pour into the prepared tin and bake on a tray for 50 minutes at 170˚C fan, then turn the oven up to 180˚C fan for the last 10 minutes to brown the top.
4. Remove and cool completely then gently remove the paper and cake tin. I like to cool it in the fridge then the paper comes away more easily. Serve with berries.
