How to Make Yogurt Cake at Home
- Bring in the sieved flour into a mixing bowl.
- Also, add the salt, baking powder, and soda together.
- Grate in lemon zest from 1 whole lemon.
- Stir the flour mixture together and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine 2 room temperature eggs; whisk lightly to combine.
- To the whisked eggs, add the plain yogurt and whisk until it is smooth and blends with the egg mixture.
- Now, add the oil and stir to combine.
- Add the white granulated sugar and vanilla for flavoring. Stir to combine completely.
- Now pour the wet mixture into the flour and mix with a spatula until you have a smooth yogurt cake batter.
Baking the yogurt cake
- Grease your cake pan with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. This makes it easier for the cake to come off when baked. Even while using a nonstick cake pan, you still need to do this.
- Place parchment paper (the same size as the diameter of the pan) at the bottom of the pan after greasing it.
- Pour the cake batter into the pan. Give it a small shake and tap the pan on a table to make it even and also to smoothen the top of the batter. This makes the top of your yogurt cake appear smooth when baked.
- Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven after 40 minutes and allow to cool off for some minutes and remove from the pan.
