Yogurt and Pomegranate Juice Pound Cake

•

The yogurt and pomegranate juice pound cake is a light dessert, enriched with the aroma of fruit.

I chose a berry yogurt and pomegranate to slightly vary the preparation of the classic yogurt cake that we all make.

What do you say, shall we get our hands in the dough?

Ingredients

Let’s see the ingredients we need to make the yogurt and pomegranate juice pound cake

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (you can use corn or sunflower seed oil if you prefer)
  • 3/4 cup yogurt (berry-flavored)
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • A few drops vanilla essence
  • 1 pinch fine salt

Tools

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Hand whisk
  • 1 Juicer
  • 1 Pound cake pan

Steps

  • First, clean a pomegranate, deseed it and extract 1/2 cup of juice.

    Now take a mixing bowl and crack the two eggs inside, add the sugar, a pinch of salt, and start whisking with a hand whisk.

    Add 3/4 cup of berry yogurt, I chose this flavor to match the color theme with the pomegranate juice.

    Add the oil and then the pomegranate juice and continue mixing.

    Pour in a few drops of vanilla essence into the mixture.

    Finally, it’s time for the dry ingredients, add the sifted all-purpose flour and baking powder.

    You will get a soft and fluid batter, as shown in the photo below.

  • Butter and flour a pound cake pan, mine measures 9.5 inches in length by 5 inches in width.

    Pour the batter inside and bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for about 43 minutes.

    Always do the toothpick test to check if your dessert is perfectly cooked, then remove from the oven and once lukewarm, enjoy it as is or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

    Enjoy your dessert, everyone.

Storage of the Pound Cake

The yogurt pound cake keeps at room temperature for two to three days under a glass dome or covered with a bag, like the ones used for Christmas panettone.

I often store desserts in these bags, and they remain perfect.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
