EASY YOGURT CAKE

Easy Yogurt Cake image

This is an easy yogurt cake that uses the yogurt container to measure all of the ingredients. It's ready in under an hour and the perfect not-too-sweet snack or breakfast treat. It's known in France as "Gâteau au Yaourt" and is typically the first cake that French children learn how to make. My son attends a French school and has made this with his classmates.

Ingredients

1 (5 ounce) container plain yogurt
3 fluid ounces 1/2 yogurt container vegetable oil
2 large eggs eggs
7 ⅞ ounces 1 1/2 yogurt containers white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ⅞ ounces 1 3/4 yogurt containers all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round springform cake pan.
Empty the yogurt into a mixing bowl. Measure the oil, using the yogurt container, and add to the yogurt. Set aside. Rinse yogurt container and dry with paper towel to continue using it as a measuring tool.
Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the yogurt-oil mixture. Beat well until thoroughly combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined; batter will be thick. Pour into the prepared cake pan and spread to level the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
