What makes this recipe special is its simplicity. You donโt need any fancy equipment, and most of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry. The yogurt gives the cake a tender, moist crumb, while the sugar provides just the right amount of sweetness. Plus, using vegetable oil instead of butter makes the cake extra light, with no extra work melting or mixing!
1. Preheat your oven to 180ยฐC (350ยฐF).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and vegetable oil until smooth.
3. Add the baking soda and plain yogurt, stirring until the mixture is well combined.
4. Stir in the vanilla and lemon zest, blending the flavors.
5. Gradually add the flour, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter.
6. Grease a cake pan with vegetable oil or line it with baking parchment.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
10. When the cake is fully cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
This yogurt cake is light, simple, and versatile. Enjoy it on its own or paired with fresh fruit or jam. Perfect for any occasion!
