Only 3 Ingredients, High Protein, NO Flour, NO Sugar - Super Fluffy Cake! Easy & Delicious

Ingredients

• 200 g Dark Chocolate (70% Cocoa) (Sugar‑free, high‑quality bar; break into pieces before melting)
• 200 g Plain Non‑Fat Yogurt (Unsweetened, no additives; can be store‑bought or homemade)
• 4 pieces Eggs (Large eggs, yolks and whites separated)
• 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (For greasing pan if parchment is not used)
• 1 tbsp Cocoa Powder (Optional dusting for pan)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan

   Line the 8‑inch round baking pan with parchment paper. If you skip parchment, grease the pan with coconut oil and dust lightly with cocoa powder.

   Time: PT5M

2. Melt the Chocolate

   Break the chocolate bar into small pieces. Microwave on high for 30‑second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.

   Time: PT3M

3. Combine Yogurt

   Stir the plain yogurt into the melted chocolate until the mixture is uniform.

   Time: PT2M

4. Separate Eggs

   Separate the yolks from the whites of the four eggs. Place yolks in a clean bowl and whites in a separate bowl.

   Time: PT3M

5. Add Yolks to Chocolate Mixture

   Whisk the egg yolks into the chocolate‑yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.

   Time: PT2M

6. Whip Egg Whites

   Using a hand mixer on medium speed (or a whisk), beat the egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks form.

   Time: PT5M

7. Fold Egg Whites Into Batter

   Add about one‑third of the whipped egg whites to the chocolate batter and gently fold with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining whites, adding them in two more thirds, folding each time until just combined.

   Time: PT5M

8. Transfer to Pan

   Pour the final batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

   Time: PT2M

9. Set Up Water Bath

   Place the pan on a larger baking sheet or water‑bath tray. Carefully pour hot water around the pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides.

   Time: PT3M

10. Bake the Cake

    Preheat the oven to 360°F (182°C). Bake the cake in the water bath for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Time: PT45M

    Temperature: 360°F

11. Cool and Unmold

    Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then lift the cake out using the parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

    Time: PT10M

Critical Steps — Do Not Skip

• Fold the whipped egg whites gently in thirds to retain air.
• Bake in a water bath at 360°F for 45 minutes.

Chef Tips from the Video

• Use room‑temperature yogurt to prevent the batter from cooling the melted chocolate.
• A clean, dry stainless steel bowl yields the best volume when whipping egg whites.
• If you don’t have parchment, grease the pan well and dust with cocoa powder to mimic a non‑stick surface.
• For extra shine, drizzle a thin layer of melted chocolate over the cooled cake before serving.
