13 items

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 pieces large eggs

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cumin, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

3. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and salsa until smooth.

4. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving for a fresh, herby finish.

10. Slice and enjoy as a savory snack, appetizer, or even as a side dish to complement a hearty meal.
