Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup pure maple syrup
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup whole milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add the maple syrup and continue to beat until well combined.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and milk until smooth.

Step 7

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined after each addition.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
