Yogurt Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups (248g) all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar*
  • 1 1/4 cups (304g) whole plain Greek yogurt, brought to room temperature
  • 2/3 cup (155ml) olive oil**
  • 3 large eggs, brought to room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray, line bottom with a round of parchment paper and spray parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • In a separate mixing bowl whisk together sugar, yogurt, olive oil, eggs and vanilla extract until well blended.
  • Pour flour mixture into yogurt mixture then stir mixture until combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared springform pan and spread into an even layer. Bake until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, about 33 to 36 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • *You can use 1 1/4 cups sugar for a sweeter cake, this is lightly sweet as is.
  • **Don’t use extra virgin olive oil unless you want a more pronounced flavor. Regular or light olive oil are recommended. Another option is to use vegetable oil or canola oil.
  • If desired cake can be served with sweetened whipped cream or sweetened yogurt (using powdered sugar), and fresh berries.
