Frequently Asked Questions About Labneh cake
How do you make labneh cake?
To make labneh cake, beat the eggs and sugar, mix in the labneh and other wet ingredients, then fold in the dry ingredients. Bake the batter in a prepared pan until the centre is set; avoid overmixing once you add the flour.
Is labneh cake the same as cheesecake?
No, labneh cake is not the same as cheesecake. Labneh is mixed into a cake batter, giving it moisture and a mild tang, while cheesecake is built around a dense cheese filling, often on a separate crust.
Can you use cream cheese instead of labneh in labneh cake?
Yes, cream cheese can replace labneh, but the cake will usually taste richer and less tangy. Soften the cream cheese first and mix it until smooth; a very thick batter may need a small adjustment to the other wet ingredients.
Why is my labneh cake dense?
Labneh cake can turn dense if the batter is overmixed after the flour is added or if the raising agent is old. Fold the dry ingredients in just until combined, and make sure the cake has room to rise in the oven.
Why is my labneh cake wet in the middle?
A labneh cake that is wet in the middle is usually underbaked, or its batter contained too much liquid. Test the centre with a skewer before taking it out, and let the cake cool fully before slicing so its crumb can set.
Does labneh cake need to be refrigerated?
Yes, store labneh cake covered in the refrigerator because it contains a fresh dairy ingredient. Let a slice sit at room temperature briefly before serving if you prefer a softer crumb and a less chilled flavour.
Can you freeze labneh cake?
Yes, labneh cake freezes well when wrapped tightly in individual slices and placed in an airtight container. Thaw a slice in the refrigerator, then bring it to room temperature before eating for a softer texture.
What does labneh cake taste like?
Labneh cake tastes like a tender, mildly tangy cake rather than a strongly savoury dish. Its flavour depends on the recipe: lemon can make the tang more noticeable, while vanilla or fruit gives it a sweeter profile.
Can you make labneh cake with Greek yogurt?
Yes, thick Greek yogurt can stand in for labneh in many cake recipes. Choose plain, unsweetened yogurt and drain off excess liquid if needed; the cake may taste a little sharper and have a slightly different texture.
What toppings go well with labneh cake?
Fresh berries, citrus zest, chopped pistachios, or a little honey pair well with labneh cake. Their bright or lightly sweet flavours complement the tang of the labneh without overwhelming the cake.

What is Labneh cake?
Labneh cake is a baked cake made with labneh, the thick, tangy strained yogurt common in Levantine cooking. The labneh gives the crumb a soft, moist texture and a gentle tartness that balances the sweetness; recipes may also include citrus zest or other flavourings. In the regions where labneh is familiar, it can be served as a dessert or with tea or coffee, and it works just as well as a teatime slice for English-speaking readers elsewhere. At 330 calories per 100 g, it is an energy-dense sweet rather than an everyday staple. Pair a modest slice with fresh fruit, or skip rich toppings for a lighter serving.
