This peach Greek yogurt cake is airy, delicious and healthy. No butter or extra fat needed, which means it’s less guilty. The texture of the cake is so fluffy that it almost resembles a Japanese style cheesecake. It can be a nice breakfast meal for one or a light snack for two, and it’s absolutely perfect for this season!
Ingredients (serves 1-2):
- 40g Greek yogurt

- 1/2tsb baking powder (optional)
- 1/2 peach

Notes:
- Peaches that are less juicy are more suitable for making desserts, like nectarines.
- I used vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, you may want to adjust sugar accordingly.

1: Slice half a peach, mix will lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch. Let stand for later use.
2: Add sugar to egg whites in 3-4 additions, beat until stiff peaks form.
