Easy Yogurt Cake

Step 1

Get ready: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a standard (9X5-inch) loaf pan with olive oil or baking spray. Line the bottom and two sides with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, olive oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Make the batter: Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture and mix with a rubber spatula just until combined and no streaks of dry flour remain.

Step 5

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then use the parchment paper like a sling to lift the cake out of the pan and onto a wire rack to finish cooling to room temperature.

Step 7

Serve: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. Slice and serve with a dollop of lightly sweetened Greek yogurt and fruit. The cake will keep for up to 4 days tightly wrapped at room temperature.
