Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 120 grams low-fat yogurt
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters low-fat milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and low-fat yogurt until smooth and well combined.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with the low-fat milk. Start with the dry ingredients, mix until just combined, then add half of the milk, mix again, and repeat, ending with the last batch of dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cake dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar, and enjoy your low-fat classic vanilla loaf cake.
