Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Creamy Yogurt Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt until well blended.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine ½ cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of plain yogurt, ¼ cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Pour in ¼ cup of milk and stir until the batter is completely smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Once baked, cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice the cooled cake and serve as is or with fresh fruits or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
