Classic Yogurt Cake Recipes

EASY YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round springform cake pan.
• Empty the yogurt into a mixing bowl. Measure the oil, using the yogurt container, and add to the yogurt. Set aside. Rinse yogurt container and dry with paper towel to continue using it as a measuring tool.
• Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the yogurt-oil mixture. Beat well until thoroughly combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined; batter will be thick. Pour into the prepared cake pan and spread to level the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

VEGAN YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C). Generously oil an 8x3 inch cake pan, and place a circle of parchment paper in the bottom.
• Into a mixing bowl sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the salt and whisk to combine.
• In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the yogurt, oil, vanilla, cane sugar, milk, and lemon zest, if using.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry, and gently whisk until just combined. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan, and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. When done the cake will be golden, set/firm in the middle, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes or until the top is barely warm. Carefully flip out onto your hand, then place parchment-side-down on a cooling rack. Once completely cool, peel away parchment paper, place on a serving platter, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
• Slice and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
