Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt Opt for low-fat or flavored yogurt for added taste.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Consider a gluten-free blend if desired.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for One-Bowl Yogurt Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly with oil or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the large eggs and sugar until they are well combined and slightly frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the vegetable oil, lemon zest, and vanilla essence to the egg and sugar mixture and mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the plain yogurt until creamy and smooth, taking about 1-2 minutes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually fold this into the wet mixture for about 1 minute.
  6. Pour the combined batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Brush with apricot or orange jam before serving.
