Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 9-inch round cake pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth. Reserve the yogurt container for measuring. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the yogurt-oil mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. (2 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. (1 minute)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (30 minutes)

07

Step

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use Greek yogurt.
Feel free to add a zest of lemon or orange for a citrusy twist.
Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
Serve with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream.
