Step-by-Step Guide to Baking Creamy Yoghurt Cake

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and prevents lumps in the batter.

3. Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt and sugar. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth.
  2. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter looks creamy.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix just until the flour is incorporated; overmixing can make the cake dense.
  2. The batter will have a thick yet pourable consistency.

5. Pour and Bake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Decorate and Serve

  1. Once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a classic look.
  2. For added elegance, garnish with fresh berries or sliced fruit like strawberries, raspberries, or peaches.
