Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cake bakes evenly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cup of plain yogurt with the cup of sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Gradually add in the all-purpose flour. Gently fold it into the yogurt mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as that can affect the cake’s texture.
  4. Lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
  5. Transfer your cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For added flair, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or lemon zest. If you have dietary restrictions, substitute plain yogurt with a non-dairy option like almond or coconut yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for about a week.
