Ingredients

  • Cake layer:
  • 6 oz (113 gr) unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 egg yolks at room temperature
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Meringue:
  • 5 egg whites at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups raspberry jam (or any other you'd like)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F (177 C).
  • Line a 13x9 in baking dish with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Lightly flour the bottom and walls.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixed, fitted with paddle attachment cream together butter and 1 cups of the sugar for 3-4 minutes, until fluffy. Add in egg yolks one at a time, mixing to incorporate in between each addition. Add yogurt and mix until incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder. Add flour mixture to the egg yolk-sugar-yogurt one and mix on medium-low speed until just incorporated. (This dough is on the thick side).
  • Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish, smooth the top and bake for 25-30 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • After you take the cake layer out of the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a flat surface to cool completely.
  • After the cake layer has cooled completely, spread raspberry jam on top.
  • To prepare the meringue topping: Beat egg whites and lemon juice with an electric mixer on medium high speed until frothy. Slowly, while still beating on medium add in 1 cup of sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form.
  • You can either transfer meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe it over the jam or use a spatula and spread a thick layer of meringue. Make sure you evenly cover the top of the cake.
  • Transfer cake with meringue on top to the oven and bake for 2-3 minutes on 400F (200 C). At this time, closely watch the cake, because you don't want it to dry out or the meringue to burn.
  • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

This isn't exactly a sponge cake layer, since the egg whites were used for the meringue.
Keep cake in a cake dome refrigerated for up to 3 days.
