Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the pan bottom with parchment. Mix flour with baking powder and salt.

Tip: Prep work makes the process smooth.
2 ✓

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add eggs one by one. Fold in the dry ingredients.

Tip: Don't overmix after adding flour to avoid a tough cake.
3 ✓

Spread batter into the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.

Tip: If the cake is warm, the mousse will melt.
4 ✓

Bloom gelatin in water, then warm until dissolved.

Tip: Heat only until clear; do not boil.
5 ✓

Mix the Greek yogurt with the honey. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.

Tip: Honey adds a distinct floral note that pairs well with yogurt.
6 ✓

Stir the warm gelatin into the yogurt (temper it first!), then fold in the whipped cream.

Tip: Fold gently to keep the mousse airy.
7 ✓

Pour over the cooled cake base and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Tip: The mousse needs time to set.
8 ✓

Top with fresh fruit and a drizzle of extra honey before serving.

Tip: Honey adds a nice shine to the fruit.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use regular yogurt?
Not recommended, as it's too watery. If you must, strain it through cheesecloth for a few hours to thicken it (labneh style).
What honey works best?
Wildflower or Acacia honey is best; they are mild and won't overpower the fresh yogurt tang.
