HEALTHY YOGURT CAKE (ONE-BOWL)

Edit

Very good recipe. The cake was moist and the texture was light. I subbed butter-flavored crisco for the margarine, used 3/4 c. sugar, as other reviewers suggested, and used vanilla flavoring and vanilla yogurt. I love that this recipe is so flexible and I will definitely make this again.

Ingredients


  • 2 eggs
  • 7/8 cup (200gr) plain yogurt
  • 2 cups (250gr) whole wheat flour or plain flour
  • 2 Tsp baking powder (I use self-raising whole wheat flour)*
  • 1/2 cup (100gr) cane sugar
  • 1/3 cup (80gr) canola oil
  • 1/4 Tsp Vanilla essence
  • 1 Lemon, zest
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions





  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F degrees and place the rack on the middle position.
  2. Grease an 8.5x4.5x2.5 inch loaf pan with butter, cooking spray or simply line the pan with parchment paper (in this case there's no need to grease the pan).
  3. Mix eggs and sugar, then add oil, lemon zest, vanilla essence and mix again. Add yogurt (not very cold) and mix into a smooth consistency. All in one bowl.
  4. Whisk flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together (if you're not using self-raising flour) and add to the wet batter until just combined. 
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. 
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
  7. When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. 
  8. You can serve it plain, dusted with icing sugar or brushed with some quick and easy jam glaze which adds a lovely shine.
  9. I glazed this cake brushing some warm orange fruit spread on top*.
