Vanilla yogurt loaf cake with chocolate chips: soft and indulgent.
Yogurt loaf cake is the first thing that comes to mind when I want to pamper us with simplicity. For this version I chose the vanilla flavor because we love it at home and it fills the whole kitchen with aroma, but I enriched it with generous chocolate chips which never hurt. I assure you it is very soft, almost like a cloud, which makes it perfect for the family’s breakfast or for a tasty afternoon snack. It’s one of those heart recipes, without too many frills but incredibly delicious.
Come along as we get started baking.
Enjoy the recipe, Giussi.

Ingredients for the yogurt loaf cake
- 1 2/3 cups 00 flour (Italian fine-milled flour; can use all-purpose flour)
- 6 tbsp + 1 tsp tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup yogurt (I chose vanilla flavor)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup chocolate (chips or chunks)
Tools
- 1 Loaf pan
Steps for the yogurt loaf cake
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, then add the yogurt and one teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients well, then add the oil and finally the flour sifted together with the baking powder. If you like, fold the chocolate chips into the batter once combined and pour everything into a buttered and floured loaf pan or one lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 356°F in a preheated conventional oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, do the toothpick test: if it comes out dry it’s ready, otherwise continue baking for another 5 minutes.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

The yogurt loaf cake stays soft and fragrant for 3-4 days under a glass dome or wrapped in plastic wrap. If you prefer, you can also slice it and freeze the pieces, so you’ll have a ready breakfast in a few minutes by briefly warming them in the oven.
