Delicious Yogurt Cake: Soft and Fluffy

by

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional) Directions
  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. If using, add the lemon zest for extra flavor.
  4. Mix Together:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Bake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool:
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Serve:
    Dust with powdered sugar or top with fresh fruit and whipped cream if desired. Nutritional Information (per serving):
