Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 150g (3/4 cup) sugar
- 100ml (1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon) vegetable oil
- 150g (2/3 cup) plain yogurt
Instructions
- Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round cake pan with a bit of vegetable oil or non-stick spray, ensuring even coverage for easy release. - Egg Mixture:
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the eggs until they are frothy and slightly thickened. - Add Sugar:
Gradually whisk in the sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. This step aerates the batter, giving the cake its light texture. - Incorporate Oil:
Slowly pour in the vegetable oil while whisking to ensure even distribution, adding moisture and tenderness to the cake. - Mix in Yogurt:
Gently fold in the plain yogurt until evenly mixed, adding extra moisture and a slight tang that enhances the cake’s richness. - Prepare to Bake:
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking. - Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden, risen, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan briefly, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy as is, or top with your favorite fruits, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
