Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup yogurt Use plain yogurt for a classic flavor; Greek yogurt can add protein.
  • 1 cup sugar Granulated sugar is ideal; substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier twist.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Whole wheat flour can be used for added fiber.
  • 3 pieces eggs Provides structure and moisture; flax eggs can also work for a vegan option.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Ensures the cake rises beautifully.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the flavor; substitute with almond extract for a unique twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour and baking powder, then add the vanilla extract. Gently mix until just combined.
  4. Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.
Baking
  1. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. It’s done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cooling & Serving
  1. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few moments before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For additional flavor, add lemon zest or berries to the batter. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for about a week. The cake can be frozen for up to three months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
