Here’s a simple, foolproof Easy Yogurt Cake you can make with basic ingredients—soft, moist, and lightly tangy.
🍰 Easy Yogurt Cake (No-fuss recipe)
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oil (vegetable or sunflower)
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence (optional)
- Pinch of salt
(Tip: Use the yogurt cup as your measuring cup for everything—very easy method.)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a cake pan.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs + sugar until light and slightly fluffy.
- Add yogurt + oil + vanilla and mix well.
- Sift in flour + baking powder + salt.
- Gently mix until smooth (don’t overmix).
- Pour into pan and tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool before slicing.
✨ Tips for best results
- Don’t overbake or it will dry out
- Add lemon zest or orange zest for extra flavor
- You can top it with powdered sugar or a light glaze
- Works great in a loaf pan too
🧠 Why yogurt cake works so well
- Yogurt keeps it moist and soft
- Oil makes it tender (better than butter for this style)
- Simple ratios make it very beginner-friendly
If you want, I can also give you:
