Fluffy & Fabulous: Your New Go-To Yogurt Cake Recipe (Seriously!)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray, then dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
3. 3

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the room temperature eggs, plain whole milk yogurt, neutral oil, and vanilla extract (and lemon zest, if using) until smooth.
4. 4

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine, but ensure no dry flour streaks remain.
5. 5

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any large air bubbles.
6. 6

   Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. 7

   Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. This allows it to set properly. After this, carefully invert the cake onto the wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
