How to Make Flourless Coconut Greek Yogurt Cake

Let’s walk through it step by step.

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.

• Greek yogurt
• Vanilla extract

Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in:

• Unsweetened shredded coconut
• Almond flour
• Baking powder

Mix gently until fully combined. The batter will be slightly thick.

Step 4: Bake

Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

The smell of toasted coconut as it bakes? Pure heaven.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
