Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 210 g All-purpose flour
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 245 g Plain unsweetened yogurt
- 120 ml Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 10 g Baking powder
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 10 g Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, sugar, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.
Gradually add the vegetable oil to the mixture while whisking continuously to create a uniform emulsified batter.
Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Add a pinch of salt and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Slice and serve the yogurt cake plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit on the side. Enjoy!
