- Spoon mixture into the prepared tray and bake for approx. 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when pushed into the center of the cake.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it sit on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes.
For the topping
- Add yogurt and maple syrup to a medium bowl and mix on low for approx. 30 seconds.
- Slowly increase power to medium speed for approx. 3-5 minutes, or until peaks form.
- To assemble, peel the baking paper off the cake, then transfer it to a serving plate.
