Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt and erythritol. Whisk these together until they are well blended and smooth.
Next, crack in the eggs one at a time, stirring continuously until the mixture is completely combined. Add in baking powder and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor. Mix until you have a consistent batter.
Step 2
Gently fold the raspberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them too much. This will help maintain their shape and provide lovely bursts of fruit flavor in the final cake.
Ensure that the raspberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a consistent taste in every slice.
Step 3
Pour the batter into a greased cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
To serve, slice the cake and optionally top with fresh raspberries and mint leaves for a beautiful presentation. If desired, you can sprinkle a light dusting of erythritol on top for added sweetness.
This cake is not only delicious but also a fantastic guilt-free alternative for those watching their sugar intake. Enjoy each bite of your homemade raspberry yogurt cake!
Servings
When it comes to serving your glorious creation, think about **pairing it up with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream**. Imagine a light afternoon picnic where this cake takes center stage, flaunting its beautiful raspberry color and inviting aroma. You could even sprinkle some fresh raspberries on top for that extra touch of elegance! 🍓🥳
For those making it for a special gathering, consider using **garnishes like mint leaves or lemon zest** to add a pop of color and flavor. The beauty of this cake is that it can double as a sophisticated dessert for dinner parties or a fun snack for family movie night. 🎬❤️
Equipment
Having a set of various sizes will make mixing and preparing your ingredients a breeze. Make sure to have a large bowl for the main batter and smaller bowls for separating ingredients.
A whisk is great for those who enjoy a little workout, while an electric mixer can save you time and effort, ensuring that your batter is smooth and fluffy!
A round or square baking pan will work well for this cake. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup!

Variations
If you're looking to mix things up, you can easily convert this delightful recipe to cater to different dietary needs! 🌱 For a **gluten-free version**, simply substitute traditional flour with a mix of almond flour and coconut flour. This not only keeps it gluten-free but also adds an irresistible nuttiness!
Additionally, if you're aiming for a **vegan twist**, swap eggs for unsweetened applesauce or flaxseed meal mixed with water. Your cake will still come out moist and delicious while keeping it completely plant-based! 🌍✨
Faq
- Can I substitute the erythritol with regular sugar if I don't need a sugar-free option?
Absolutely! If sugar is not a problem for you, feel free to replace erythritol with the same amount of regular sugar for a traditional taste.
- What type of yogurt works best for this recipe?
Greek yogurt provides a great texture and richness, but feel free to use any plain yogurt that you enjoy!
- I am an intermediate baker. Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time. Just store it in the fridge and bake it when you're ready. However, it's best if you bake it fresh for optimal flavor and texture!
- Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, frozen raspberries can work just fine. Just be sure to thaw and drain them of excess water before adding to the batter to avoid excess moisture!
- As an experienced baker, I'd like to know, how can I improve the texture of my cake?
Incorporating a bit of yogurt not only enhances flavor but also keeps the cake moist. Additionally, be careful not to overmix once you add the dry ingredients to maintain that perfect fluffiness!
- How do I store leftovers?
Keep any leftover cake in an airtight container in the fridge. It should maintain its moisture and flavor for about 3-4 days—if it lasts that long!
