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
- 1/2 yogurt container vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 yogurt containers white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 yogurt containers all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round springform cake pan.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
A 5 oz yogurt container is equivalent to 3/4 cup. If you would like to make this cake but do not have a 5 oz container, use the following measurements: 3/4 cup plain yogurt; 1 1/2 cups white sugar; 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil; 1 1/3 cups flour.
