Can I use flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain?

Using flavored Greek yogurt is possible, but it may add extra sugar and change the texture. Plain Greek yogurt is best to control sweetness and keep the cake’s natural tang.

Why is my yogurt cake too wet or jiggly?

If the cake is too wet, it likely needs more baking time or longer cooling. High moisture content in yogurt can also affect this, so try using thicker Greek yogurt or slightly increasing the starch.

What can I substitute for cornstarch?

You can replace cornstarch with tapioca flour, arrowroot powder, or almond flour depending on dietary needs. Each substitute changes the texture slightly but keeps the cake moist and firm.

Is this cake suitable for keto or low-carb diets?

Yes! Using full-fat plain Greek yogurt and swapping cornstarch for low-carb starches like almond flour makes this dessert keto-friendly and low-carb.
