Creamy Yogurt Cake 🍰✨

This simple yet delightful cake is made with Greek yogurt for a moist and tender texture. It’s lightly sweet, with the option of adding a hint of lemon zest for a bright, refreshing flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. If you want to add a bit of citrus flavor, fold in the lemon zest at this stage.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even bake. Place the cake in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool the Cake:
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve:
    Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy this creamy yogurt cake, either on its own or with a side of fresh fruit.

Tips:

  • Flavor Boost: If you love citrus, the lemon zest is a great addition to brighten the cake’s flavor.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

FAQs:

1. Can I use a flavored yogurt?
Yes, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt with a flavored variety, like vanilla or lemon, for an extra flavor boost.

2. Can I make this cake gluten-free?
You can try using a gluten-free flour blend to make this cake gluten-free. Make sure it’s a 1:1 substitution to maintain the cake’s texture.

3. How do I know when the cake is done baking?
The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached. The top should be golden brown.

Enjoy this creamy and light yogurt cake any time of day!
