- 250 g yogurt (natural or Greek)

Nutritional benefits:
This cake is a lighter alternative to traditional desserts, having a higher protein content due to the egg whites. The yogurt adds a creaminess and moisture, keeping it soft and flavorful. Although it contains sugar, it is a healthier option compared to many fat-rich cakes.
Mixing the egg whites and sugar:
The first step is crucial: beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form a foam. This will help stabilize the structure of the cake. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to mix. It is important for the sugar to dissolve completely to achieve a fine and smooth texture.
Oil and yogurt:
Once you have a firm foam, gradually add the oil while continuously mixing. The oil will make the cake moister and softer. Then, gently fold in the yogurt to avoid losing air in the mixture.
Flour and baking powder:
Mix the flour with the baking powder, then gradually incorporate them into the wet mixture, carefully folding with a spatula. It is essential not to overmix to avoid a dense texture.
Assembling the cake:
Prepare the baking trays by lining them with parchment paper. Place two rows of chocolate cream rolls at the bottom of each tray, then pour a layer of batter to cover them. Continue with three more rows of rolls, followed by another layer of batter. Finally, sprinkle some pieces of rolls on top for an attractive visual effect.
Baking:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the trays in the oven and let them bake for 40-45 minutes. Check if they are done using a toothpick: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready!
Serving:
Let the cake cool slightly before removing it from the tray. You can serve it plain or with a chocolate sauce for an extra indulgence. Pay attention to presentation with some fresh fruits or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
Variations:
To customize the recipe, you can use other types of rolls, such as those with vanilla cream or fruit. You can also add chopped nuts or almonds to the mixture for a crunchy texture.
Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use frozen egg whites? Yes, but make sure to completely thaw them and bring them to room temperature before beating.
- How can I make this recipe less sweet? You can reduce the sugar by 50 g or use a natural sweetener.
- What should I do if the cake doesn't bake evenly? Ensure that the oven is well preheated and do not open the oven door in the first 30 minutes of baking.
