Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (full-fat or Greek)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or dusted with powdered sugar.
Tips
- Use full-fat yogurt for a richer texture; Greek yogurt works well too.
- The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Add a simple glaze of powdered sugar and lemon juice for extra tanginess.
