Description
A deliciously moist and fluffy cake made with yogurt, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with some oil or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, granulated sugar, and eggs. Mix until you have a smooth texture.
- Pour in the vegetable oil and add the vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is combined.
- In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- If you love a hint of lemon, fold in the lemon zest at this stage for extra flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Place the cake in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. It’s done when you insert a toothpick into the center, and it comes out clean.
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you like, dust the cooled cake with some powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding fruits or nuts to the batter. Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for a delightful treat.
