Yogurt Cake – Simple, Quick, and Delicious

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 cup oil

  • 2 cups yogurt of your choice (plain or fruit)

  • 2 cups flour

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 packet vanilla sugar

  • 1 packet baking powder

  • butter or oil for greasing the pan

  • flour for dusting the pan

Preparation:

Measuring ingredients: Use the same cup, or even a yogurt cup, to measure all ingredients.

Mixing: In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil, yogurt, eggs, vanilla sugar, flour, and baking powder until you get a smooth batter.

Preparing the pan: Grease the baking pan with butter or oil, then sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking.

Baking: Pour the batter into a 9–10 inch round cake pan. Bake at 325–350°F (160–180°C) for about 50–60 minutes, until golden brown.

Decoration (optional): Once cooled, you can top it with glaze, icing, or dust with powdered sugar.

Serving and storage tips:
– Best enjoyed fresh, but it keeps 2–3 days in an airtight container.
– Perfect with coffee, tea, or milk.
– Can be served with whipped cream or fresh fruit.

Variations:
– Chocolate version: Add 2–3 tablespoons cocoa powder to the batter.
– Fruity version: Mix in a handful of your favorite fruit, like blueberries, raspberries, or apple pieces.
– Gluten-free: Replace flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
