Ingredients

  • 3  eggs
  • 150g (3/4 cup) sugar
  • 100ml (1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon) vegetable oil
  • 150g (2/3 cup) plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Incorporate Oil:
    Slowly pour in the vegetable oil while whisking to ensure even distribution, adding moisture and tenderness to the cake.
  5. 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.
  6. Prepare to Bake:
    Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
