Easy Yogurt Cake

 

 

 

After being gifted with too much plain Greek yogurt, I looked for how to use it all up.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 1/3 cup Oikos® Plain Greek Yogurt

  • Confectioners’ sugar

     NOTE: I made a simple cinnamon brown sugar crumble for the top.

     

    Directions

  • Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan (12-cup capacity).

  • Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.

  • Cream the butter on medium-low speed in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth and light in color, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and blend in well. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, at 1-minute intervals, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Beat for about 1 minute longer. Blend in the vanilla extract.

  • Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. (3 parts flour/2 parts yogurt). Mix only until incorporated after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix for 10 seconds longer.

  • Spoon the batter into the pan, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until the cake is golden brown on top and it begins to come away from the sides of the pan. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Cool the cake on a rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Invert and gently remove the pan. Before serving, dust the top with the confectioners’ sugar.
