Ingredients
Scale
- 125g plain natural yogurt, preferably full-fat
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 60 ml neutral vegetable oil (such as sunflower oil)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 250g granulated sugar
- 375g all-purpose flour
- 11g baking powder (1 standard sachet)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 lemon, zested (optional)
- Icing sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter and flour a 23cm round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Incorporate sugar into the wet mixture and blend thoroughly. If using lemon zest, fold it in now.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until a smooth, homogeneous batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Tap the pan gently on the counter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn it out onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely.
- Just before serving, dust the top with icing sugar for a cloud-like appearance.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain the lightness of the cake.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
