How to make a gluten free cranberry yogurt cake:

Separate the eggs and add the egg whites to a bowl. Use an electric mixer to whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

Pour the oil into the egg yolk. Mix well.

Whisk the egg yolks and flour mixture into the whipped egg whites.

Gently fold the fresh cranberries into the egg white mixture.

Can you make this cake dairy-free?

You can easily make this yogurt cake dairy-free by using a dairy-free yogurt.

How do you know when the yogurt cake is done baking?

To determine if your yogurt cake is finished baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes back clean, it is ready. If there is batter or crumbs on the toothpick, it will need to bake longer.

*Cake Pan TIP* You can make this cake in a cake pan, but it will probably spill over when it rises. I really recommend using a springform pan for this recipe.
