Yogurt Cake

Yogurt Cake, a classic, simplicity and softness in every bite!
Today I want to share with you one of my family’s most beloved recipes, in both the classic version and also in a gluten-free version for me: the yogurt cake.
This delicious cake is true comfort food, perfect for any occasion, whether it’s for a delicious breakfast, a tasty snack, or a coffee break.

Its preparation is simple and quick, it requires easily available ingredients, and, even better, it lends itself to various variations.
You can enrich it with chocolate chips for a greedy touch (my child’s favorite version), add fresh fruit for a note of freshness or create a delicious cocoa swirl.

Of course, don’t worry, for the gluten-free yogurt cake, just replace the flour with a gluten-free mix to enjoy this wonder even without gluten.

As with most of my recipes, I used seed oil in this one too, but if you prefer, you can replace it with 7 oz of butter, the result will be excellent!

Follow the recipe and let yourself be conquered by this dessert that, I am sure, will also become your favorite!

  • Difficulty: Very easy
  • Cost: Very cheap
  • Preparation time: 15 Minutes
  • Portions: 10
  • Cooking methods: Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs (at room temperature)
  • 9 oz sugar
  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 3.5 oz vegetable oil
  • 1.2 cups all-purpose flour (can be replaced with a gluten-free mix)
  • 0.4 cups potato starch
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon (grated zest)

Steps

  • First preheat the oven to 356°F and prepare the ingredients, it’s always better to have the eggs at room temperature.

  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar for 4/5 minutes using an electric mixer, then gradually add the oil while still beating, along with the pinch of salt, the vanilla, and the grated lemon zest.

  • Proceed by adding the yogurt and finally incorporate the sifted flour with potato starch and baking powder.

    We are ready for baking, pour the mixture into a 9/10 inch pan lined with parchment paper, level it, and bake at 356°F for 35 minutes.

  • Of course, every oven is different, always check the cake towards the end of baking and do the toothpick test before removing it from the oven.

👉As always, I recommend keeping the cake well sealed, in a cake holder or under a dome, this will keep it soft for several days!
