  • 300 g Yogurt (1.5% fat)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Beat the eggs with 75 g coconut blossom sugar and 2 tbsp hot water in a bowl until creamy, about 5 minutes using a hand mixer.

    Sift flour, cornstarch, and baking powder into another bowl, mix well, then fold into the egg mixture with a whisk.

    Cut parchment paper to fit a 24 cm springform, line the bottom, pour batter in, and smooth the surface with a spatula.

  4. 4.

    Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (180 °C fan) for 10–15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and release from the pan.

    Whip cream in a tall container with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form; refrigerate.

    Fold one‑third of the yogurt mixture into the warm gelatin, then immediately stir in the remaining two‑thirds. Gently fold in whipped cream, followed by strawberry cubes.
