Description
A simple, moist snack cake made with yogurt, perfect for everyday family baking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup any flavour yogurt (room temperature)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour or cake flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2–3 tablespoons powdered sugar (for topping)
- 1 cup blueberries (for sauce)
- 1/3 cup sugar (for sauce)
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons water (for sauce)
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice (for sauce)
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350F degrees (180 C). Grease an 8 inch (20cm) cake pan or a 9½-10 inch (24 cm) bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer on medium speed to lightly beat the eggs for approximately 30 seconds. Add oil, sugar, and yogurt. Beat for 1 minute until smooth.
- Add flour and baking powder. Beat until well combined, approximately another minute.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry or with a few crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar if you want.
- To make the blueberry sauce: Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Serve warm or cool over the cake.
Notes
- Using room temperature yogurt and eggs helps create a smoother batter.
- This cake has a soft, tender crumb because of the yogurt.
- This recipe is easy to mix in one bowl.
