Notes

  • Use plain, flavourless yogurt. Don't use curd or sour yogurt for this recipe. Greek yogurt is the best option because of its thick and creamy texture.
  • Beat the egg white separately for a fluffy cake.
  • The yogurt will maintain the moisture in the cake.
  • I am using yoghurt which already contains sugar. So I reduced the quantity of sugar I add.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a microwave before using it.
