🧁 Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (or vanilla yogurt)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk (optional, for extra moisture)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Lemon or orange zest
  • Chocolate chips
  • Fresh berries
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round or loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and slightly fluffy.
  4. Add yogurt, oil, vanilla, and milk. Mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually fold in dry ingredients just until combined — do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool slightly, remove from pan, and enjoy warm or fully cooled.

🍰 Methods (Why This Cake Works)

  • Yogurt Method: Yogurt adds moisture, tenderness, and richness without heaviness.
  • Oil-Based Batter: Keeps the cake soft for days (no dry crumbs here!).
  • Minimal Mixing: Prevents toughness and keeps the crumb light and fluffy.

📜 A Little History

Yogurt cakes have been loved for generations, especially in European and Mediterranean homes. They were often the first cake people learned to bake — measured with a simple yogurt cup, no fancy tools needed. This tradition celebrates comfort, simplicity, and everyday baking joy.

🧬 Formation & Texture

This cake forms a fine, tender crumb with a lightly golden crust. Inside, it stays moist, airy, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too dense. It absorbs syrups beautifully and pairs wonderfully with fruit, glaze, or cream.
