Ingredients
- 500 grams / 17.6 oz Anthotyro cheese or thick, firm Ricotta cheese
- 220 grams / 7.7 oz Greek yogurt
- 150 grams / 5.3 oz icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 145 grams / 5.1 oz corn oil
- 3 eggs
- 270 grams / 9.5 oz all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 lemon juiced + zested
- icing sugar to serve with
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170°C / 338°F.
- Add the Anthotyro cheese along with the Greek yogurt, icing sugar, and vanilla extract in your electric mixer's bowl. With the whisk attachment on, beat over medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Start incorporating the corn oil. Then reduce speed to low and add the eggs one by one. Once everything is fully incorporated and the mixture looks real fluffy and creamy, remove it from the mixer.
- In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Using a hand sifter, add the flour mixture into the egg mixture in batches. Stirring with a pastry spatula.
- Then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
- Grease a round 10-inch baking pan with some cooking spray or vegetable oil. Pour the cake mixture into the pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes.
- Prick the cake in the center with a knife to check if the cake is cooked. Note that since this is a moist and dense cake, the knife should come out looking moist but without actual cake batter on it.
- Let the cake cool down to room temperature and then overlap the pan gently over a serving plate. Serve with icing sugar on top, or see toppings in the text above. Enjoy!
