Cotton Yoghurt Small Cakes 酸奶小蛋糕
These cotton yoghurt small cakes are yummy as they’re light, moist and soft just like eating chilled cheesecake. They can be prepared with a few quick mixing and baked in a muffin pan. These cakes are made by using the egg separation method but you don’t have to steam bake them like in my previous post – Yogurt Blueberry cake that I shared 3 years ago. In fact I love both recipes, they’re equally good!

- Whisk egg whites at low speed till foamy and gradually add in sugar and continue to beat till peak forms at medium speed.
- Fold 1/3 of the egg whites to egg yolk mixtures. Then return the egg yolk mixtures to the meringue and fold well.
- Pour batter into the cupcake cases evenly and gently bang the muffin pan to release air bubbles.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. *The cakes will puff up and shrink back a little during baking.
- Remove muffin pan from oven and drop 2-3 times on table top to release hot air and leave cakes to cool. Dust with some cocoa powder before serving.

蛋糕体质很湿润，口感很接近轻乳酪蛋糕。放冰箱冷藏后会更好吃

Serves: 可做10个
Ingredients
- 4个 大鸡蛋，蛋黄蛋白分开
- 1小杯 天然优格/酸奶 （200毫升）
- 60克 中筋或低筋面粉
- ½茶匙 香草香精
- 1汤匙 柠檬汁
- 1粒 柠檬皮屑
- 40克 融化牛油
- 80克 细砂糖
Instructions
- 预热烤箱至摄氏150度。 纸杯放入在玛芬烤盘内，备用。
- 用手动打蛋器将蛋黄打撒，倒入优格混合均匀。
- 筛入一半的面粉，轻轻的拌匀后，筛入剩下的面粉，再拌均匀即可。
- 加入香精，柠檬汁和柠檬皮屑，搅拌均匀。然后倒入牛油，用橡皮刮刀翻拌均匀即可。
- 用电动打蛋器（低速度）把蛋白打致起泡泡，细砂糖慢慢加入，然后用中速度将蛋白打致硬性发泡。
- 将1/3的蛋白霜拌入面糊里用橡皮刮刀翻拌均匀。然后将面糊混合物倒入蛋白霜里，翻拌均匀即可。
- 然后将面糊倒入纸杯中至8-9分满，轻轻的敲出气泡。
- 放入预热烤箱烤约25-30分钟。 **蛋糕在烤的过程中会先膨胀然后略有回缩
- 烤好后的蛋糕连玛芬盘在桌面敲打几下，敲出热气 （这样可防蛋糕过度的收缩）。蛋糕待凉后撒上适量可可粉即可享用。

Hi Ann,
Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
May i ask how do u measure 40g of melted butter?
Weigh 40g of butter and melt in a pan over stove/oven, or melt butter and then weigh 40g of it?
Hi Love – angel, I cut the butter and weighed 40g in the pot and melt under low heat. Leave the melted to cool before use.
I love mini treats! The cake has a really tender smooth texture.
Ann, these small cakes must be a delight to eat!
Hi Ann,
Can I use muffin cups that don’t require the muffin tray?
Sure Teresa 🙂

Hi ECC, So happy to hear that! 😀
Hello!! I was wondering if it should be Greek or plain yogurt?
Hi Claire, I used Paula’s natural plain yogurt. Greek yogurt can be used too.
Hi the recipe makes 10. May I know the size of the cupcake paper liner. Thank you.
Hi MM, This is the standard size cupcake paper that fits the muffin pan (diameter about 2 3/4 inch)
These mini cakes look so pretty and cute and bet they taste wonderful too, chilled!
Yummm
