Simple and Delicious Cake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
3 large eggs, room temperature
02 -
150g Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla-flavored
03 -
150g all-purpose flour
04 -
100g granulated sugar
05 -
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
06 -
1/2 tsp baking powder (optional)
07 -
Pinch of salt
08 -
Optional add-ins: lemon zest, cinnamon, chocolate chips, or fresh berries
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or round cake pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and frothy. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
03 -
Sift the flour, baking powder (if using), and a pinch of salt into the wet mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing—the batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
04 -
If desired, fold in extras like lemon zest, cinnamon, chocolate chips, or fresh berries.
05 -
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
06 -
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with honey, jam, or fresh fruit.
# Notes:
01 -
Greek yogurt adds moisture and a slight tanginess, keeping the cake soft and flavorful without heavy fats.
02 -
The combination of eggs and flour creates a tender crumb that’s neither too dense nor too airy.
03 -
A modest amount of sugar keeps the cake light and versatile for sweet or semi-sweet toppings.
