Here’s a simple and fluffy Yogurt Cake recipe that’s moist, tender, and super easy to make—no fancy ingredients required!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (any kind, full-fat works best)
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: zest of 1 lemon or orange for extra flavor
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan (or line with parchment paper). - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla (and citrus zest if using) until smooth. - Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix. - Bake:
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Cool & Serve:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey if desired.
💡 Tips & Variations:
- Add ½ cup chocolate chips or berries for a fun twist.
- Use flavored yogurt (like vanilla or strawberry) to enhance taste.
- For a lighter version, replace half the oil with unsweetened applesauce.
If you like, I can also give you a “one-bowl, no-mixer” version that’s even quicker and still super fluffy.
Do you want me to do that?
