ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH LEMON HONEY YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the cake: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, salt and cream of tartar. Using an electric hand mixer, beat on medium speed until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 to 4 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks, about 2 minutes longer. Sprinkle the flour over the egg white mixture. Using a spatula, carefully fold in the flour until incorporated. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch nonstick angel food cake pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until the top is browned and a skewer inserted halfway between the inner and outer wall of the pan comes out clean. Invert the pan on a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth. Pour into a serving pitcher.
• Using a spatula, loosen the cake around the sides and middle. Release the cake and place on a serving plate. Cut into slices and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with lemon zest and mint sprigs.

EASY YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350F degrees (180 cm). Grease an 8 inch (20cm) cake pan or a 9½-10 inch (24 cm) bundt pan.
• In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, lightly beat the eggs approximately 30 seconds, add oil, sugar and yogurt, beat for 1 minute until smooth, add flour and baking powder and beat until well combined approximately another minute.
• Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until tested done (when a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out dry or with a few crumbs attached). Let cool 15-20 in the pan then move to a wire rack to cool completely. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

HONEY LEMON CAKE (WITH PHYLLO + GREEK YOGURT)

Steps:

• Remove phyllo from its package, separate each phyllo from the other, and lay on your kitchen counter to air-dry for 30 minutes. NOTE: The sheets don't have to lay flat (you can leave them ruffled) as they will be torn into pieces later on.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs to get a bit foamy. Add the Greek yogurt, and whisk to combine.
• In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 100 grams / 3.5 oz of the honey along with the oil, baking powder, vanilla extract, and the lemon zest. Then incorporate into the egg mixture.
• Preheat oven to 160°C / 320°F.
• Take the phyllo and tear it into small pieces with your hands and start adding it into the batter. Toss each piece of phyllo right into the batter, giving a good stir as you go, so the pieces won't stick together. Keep doing this until you mix all the phyllo into the batter. NOTE: If phyllo sheets aren't separated from each other they won't bake properly.
• Grease a round 26 cm / 10-inch round pan with some oil or cooking spray. And add the cake batter.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes until deep-golden on top.
• While the cake is baking, add remaining honey in a saucepan along with 220 ml water and the lemon juice. Whisk to combine and then heat over high heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-10 minutes until it starts to thicken a bit. Remove from heat and set aside. NOTE: Make sure you use a large enough saucepan so the honey won't spill out of it when it starts to boil.
• Once the cake is baked pour the hot honey syrup all over using a ladle. It may look like a lot but it will soak it all up slowly.
• Let cake reach room temperature before refrigerating.
• Cut into 10-12 pieces and serve!

VANILLA YOGURT CUPCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY FROSTING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and set it aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together until well combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stop to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla.
• Add half the flour mixture and mix at low speed until almost combined. Add the yogurt and continue to mix until almost combined. Finally, add the remaining flour mixture and mix just until combined.
• Divide the batter between the prepared muffin cups and bake for 20-25 minutes. While cupcakes are baking, begin preparing the strawberries for the frosting - see instructions below.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
• Add strawberry puree to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the puree has reduced to 2-3 tablespoons.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl. Allow the puree to cool completely, stirring every so often.
• Once the puree has cooled, add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or to a large bowl using an electric hand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy and pale in color, about 5 minutes. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the salt and half the confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed just until the sugar has fully moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and beat until well incorporated, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the remaining confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed just until the sugar has fully moistened, then turn the speed up to medium-high and beat until well incorporated, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add the puree and beat at medium-low speed until fully mixed in.

HONEYED YOGURT CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the cheesecake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat it to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray an 8-inch springform pan with 3-inch-high sides with nonstick cooking spray.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, place the egg whites and salt. Beat on medium-high speed to soft peaks, 2 to 3 minutes. With the mixer running, slowly rain in the evaporated cane juice. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the egg whites are glossy and hold stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Sift the flour over the whipped whites and gently fold until smooth. Scrape the meringue into a clean bowl. (And hey, guess what? You just made a small batch of angel food cake batter!)
• Into the mixer bowl (no need to clean it), place the cream cheese. Place the bowl back on the mixer and fit the mixer with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until creamy. Add the honey and beat until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract and lemon zest and beat to blend well. Reduce the mixer speed to low and stir in the yogurt.
• Carefully fold about a third of the egg white mixture into the batter to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining whites until the batter is smooth. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until the cake is puffed, lightly golden and mostly set but with a slight wobble when the pan is jostled, 45 to 50 minutes (a toothpick won't tell you much about doneness; it's best just to rely on visuals here). Turn off the oven and let the cake continue to cook in the oven for 1 hour. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. When ready to serve, unmold the cheesecake and put onto a serving platter.
• For the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, hot water and vanilla. Add the apricots and blackberries to the bowl and gently toss to coat. Top the cheesecake with the honey and fruit mixture, slice and serve.

HONEY LEMON YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Combine the honey, zest, 6 tablespoons of the sugar, and 2 cups of water in a saucepan.
• Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes; syrup should lightly coat the back of a metal spoon.
• Remove lemon peel and stir in the lemon juice.
• Set pan aside to cool.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a deep, 9-inch round cake pan.
• Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and remaining 6 tablespoons of sugar together until pale and thick.
• Sift 1-1/4 cups of flour and baking powder together. Add to the egg mixture and stir.
• Add remaining butter and yogurt cheese.
• Add just enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to come away from the sides of the bowl.
• In another bowl: Beat the egg whites until stiff.
• Add 1/3 to the yogurt batter and gently fold inches
• Carefully fold remaining whites into batter.
• Spread into cake pan and bake for 35 minutes.
• Cake should be golden brown. When cake is still warm, pour syrup over the cake. Let cake sit for at least 4 hours before serving.

YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter an 8- or 9-inch springform pan.
• Using an electric hand mixer or a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-low until the mixture looks frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly start to increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl but using the same mixer, combine yolks and sugar (no need to wash beaters after the egg white). Beat yolks on medium-high until the mixture is very pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and gradually beat in flour, yogurt, lemon zest and juice, and salt until fully incorporated.
• Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolk-yogurt mixture until only a few streaks remain. Fold in the remaining whites, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until the batter is evenly mixed, light and smooth.
• Scrape the batter into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until the top is speckled with golden brown and puffed, 40 to 55 minutes. (The 8-inch pan will take longer to bake through.) Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cake cool before cutting. Serve warm or cold.
