Are you expecting guests spontaneously?

Whip up this yoghurt cake and whip up your living room while it's in the oven.

It couldn't be smarter!

We all know cheesecake and it is always a treat.

This simple yoghurt cake is just as delicious and even faster in the oven.

It's the salvation when you're expecting a surprise visitor for coffee and don't want to serve the guests a cake you've bought.

The yoghurt cake consists of just three ingredients and can be prettied up as you wish - which makes it the star of the coffee table.

You've probably never put a cake in the oven so quickly.

5-minute yoghurt cake: You need these ingredients for baking

• 400 g sweetened yoghurt - e.g. vanilla

• 4 eggs

• 40 g cornstarch

How to bake the lightning fast yoghurt cake

• Preheat your oven to 170 degrees top/bottom heat.

• Beat the eggs first, then stir in the yogurt.

• Then sift in the cornstarch and stir again until you get a smooth mass with no lumps.

• Pour the mixture into a springform pan lined with parchment paper.

  This is very easy with the water trick.

• Now bake the yoghurt cake for 40 minutes.

  If it gets dark too quickly, cover with aluminum foil.

• Leave the yogurt cake to cool in the oven.

  After about ten minutes, open the oven door a crack.

• Then put it in the fridge for another hour or two.

Why you should let the yoghurt cake cool down in the oven

The warm yoghurt cake does not tolerate a sudden drop in temperature - just like its cousin the cheesecake.

If you let it cool down slowly in the oven, it won't collapse or form unsightly cracks on the surface.

This lightning-fast and simple yoghurt cake tastes particularly delicious with fresh fruit or a topping of fruit puree or jam.

Try it and enjoy.
