Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare the pan by buttering it or lining it with baking paper.
Beat the eggs with the erythritol and vanilla until light and fluffy.
Add the yogurts and mix gently with a hand whisk.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt and gradually incorporate them into the mixture, without overworking it.
Pour the mixture into the pan and level the surface.
Bake in a hot oven for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
Let it cool for 10 minutes before unmolding it, so it will stay intact.
