Soft Yogurt Cake

The soft yogurt cake is wholesome, perfect for soaking in milk or serving with tea. This dessert is also called 7 jars because the unit of measurement for weighing the ingredients is the 125 ml yogurt jar. I also recommend trying the mother-in-law cake and the coconut and nutella cake. On the blog, you will also find a section dedicated to breakfast sweets. Now, I’ll leave you with the recipe, kisses, Chicca!

How to Make Soft Yogurt Cake

  • In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, grated lemon zest, and vanilla essence.

  • Next, pour in the oil gradually and then the yogurt, mixing continuously until a well-combined batter is obtained.

  • Incorporate 1 jar of potato starch and 2 jars of all-purpose flour, mix well, then add the sifted baking powder, mix until a smooth and homogeneous batter without lumps is obtained.

  • Butter and flour a 9″ springform pan and pour the batter into the pan. Bake at 350°F in a conventional oven for about 40 minutes. Always do the toothpick test; insert it in the center, if it comes out dry, it means the cake is ready to be taken out of the oven.

Preservation and Variations for the Soft Yogurt Cake

The super soft yogurt cake can be stored under a cake dome for up to 3-4 days. You can add lightly floured chocolate chips or diced apples to the batter. You can use any yogurt, even fruit-flavored, but I prefer plain whole yogurt.
