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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, sugar, and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and well-blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the vegetable oil to the mixture while whisking continuously to create a uniform emulsified batter.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Optional: Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.

Step 10

Slice and serve the yogurt cake plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit on the side. Enjoy!
