Step 1 – Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).
Line a rectangular or square baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2 – Mix the Base
In a large bowl:
- Whisk the eggs
- Add yogurt and milk
- Mix until smooth
No lumps. This is important for that creamy texture.
Step 3 – Add Dry Ingredients
Add:
- Sweetener
- Cornstarch
- Vanilla
Whisk again until completely smooth.
The batter should be:
- Liquid but thick
- Like pancake batter
Step 4 – Bake Slowly
Pour into pan.
Bake for 45–50 minutes.
The top should:
- Be golden
- Slightly jiggly in the center
Step 5 – Cool Completely
This part is crucial.
Let it cool:
- 1 hour at room temperature
- Then 2 hours in the fridge
It will firm up and become sliceable.
