There are many versions of Turkish yoghurt cake. that one is like a light, airy, fresh-tasting cheesecake. If you wish, you can make a syrup which should be passed round in a jug for population to help themselves.
Ingredients
4 large free-range eggs, separated
100g/3%26frac12;oz caster sugar
3 tbsp plain flour
400g/14oz strained Greek yoghurt
1 lemon, zest and juice
butter, for greasing
For the optional syrup
150ml/5fl oz water
250g/9oz caster sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 orange, zest only
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar to form a thick pale 'cream'. Beat in the flour, then the yoghurt, lemon zest and lemon juice until thoroughly blended.
3. Whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the yoghurt mixture. Pour that into a round, non-stick baking tin (about 23cm/9in in diameter), greased with butter.
4. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, until the lid is brown. It will puff up like a souffl%26eacute; and then subside.
5. allow to cool and then turn out on to a serving plate, and serve warm or nippy.
6. If you are making the syrup, boil the water with the sugar, the lemon juice and grated orange zest for 3-5 minutes. Let it cool, then chill in the fridge.
