Ingredients for the Cake:
- All-purpose flour (125g)
- Potato starch (25g)
- Sugar (40g)
- Baking powder (1/2 packet)
- Vegetable oil (40g)
- Milk of choice (125g)
- Lemon zest
Ingredients for the Filling:
- Greek yogurt (250g)
- Honey (1 tablespoon)
- Gelatin (7g, approximately 3 sheets)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (374 degrees Fahrenheit). Line a rectangular baking tray (38×26 cm) with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, potato starch, and baking powder. Gradually add the oil, milk, and lemon zest, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tray and smooth the top.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then cut it horizontally to create two layers.
- Prepare the filling by mixing the Greek yogurt with honey. Soften the gelatin in cold water, squeeze out excess water, and melt it. Mix a small amount of the yogurt with the melted gelatin to temper it, then combine with the rest of the yogurt.
- Spread the yogurt filling over the bottom half of the cake, then place the top half over it.
- Dust with powdered sugar and carefully cut into individual snack-sized cakes.
