Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs Use room temperature eggs for better rise
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder Check the expiration date for freshness
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For added flavor
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Fresh fruit for topping (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the plain yogurt, sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain.
- Stir in the vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For best texture, use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter.
