Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until creamy and slightly thickened. Add the plain yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, blending until smooth.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure an even, lump-free mixture.
  4. Incorporate Dry Into Wet: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir just until combined to preserve the air bubbles that make the cake so fluffy.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake is golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to maintain its airy texture. Serve plain or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to help the batter blend more easily and trap air better for a fluffier cake.
  • Don’t overmix; fold ingredients gently to keep the batter aerated and ensure a cloud-like crumb.
  • Choose full-fat yogurt for added moisture and richness without heaviness.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper to guarantee smooth release and prevent cracks on the cake’s surface.
  • Test the cake a few minutes before time is up by inserting a toothpick to avoid drying it out.
