Ingredients
- 1 jar (1/2 cup / 4 fl oz) yogurt (cream-style or fiordilatte (plain milk yogurt))
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (type 00)
- 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 8 tbsp) sunflower oil (or neutral vegetable oil)
- 1 sachet baking powder (about 16 g (approx. 4 teaspoons))
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or one packet of vanillin)
- Half cup chocolate chips (about 1/4 cup (≈1.5 oz / 45 g))
Steps
In a bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar, then beat with a mixer until you obtain a pale, frothy mixture.
Add the fiordilatte yogurt and the sunflower oil, continuing to mix.
Add the flour gradually, then fold in the sifted baking powder and the vanilla extract.
At this point, toss the chocolate chips with a little flour and gently fold them in with a spatula to distribute them evenly.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan or one lined with parchment paper.
👉 If you want an even more indulgent effect, add a few chocolate chips on the surface as well.
Bake in a conventional (static) oven at 356°F for about 35-40 minutes, always performing the toothpick test.
Let cool before slicing.

💡 Tips
– Always dust the chocolate chips with flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
– Do not overwork the batter after adding the baking powder.
– Use room temperature yogurt for a softer result.
