Yogurt Sponge Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

• 1 cup (240 g) plain yogurt (full-fat or Greek yogurt works best)

• 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil (or melted butter)

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• A pinch of salt

Optional:

• Zest of one lemon or orange for extra flavor

• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Beat the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy (about 4-5 minutes with an electric mixer).

3. Add the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. Stop once everything is just combined.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

7. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or decorate as you like.
