- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) round or loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix wet ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake the cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve as is, or dust with powdered sugar for a simple finish.
Tips:
- Add-ins: Customize your cake by adding lemon zest, orange zest, or a handful of fresh berries to the batter.
- Glaze: Drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
