Delicious Yogurt Cake: Soft and Fluffy

Delicious Yogurt Cake: Soft and Fluffy 🍰❤️

- 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)

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.
