Ingredients

Scale

1 cup plain yogurt (unsweetened)
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in vegetable oil (or melted butter) and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing!
Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, add lemon or orange zest to the batter.
Want a richer taste? Substitute Greek yogurt for a slightly denser texture.
Store at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
