  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla sugar (optional)

Dry Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to warm up while you prepare the cake batter.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes lightly foamy. Then add the Greek yogurt and combine thoroughly.
  3. Add the flour: Gradually sift the flour into the wet mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Add vanilla: If using vanilla extract or vanilla sugar, mix it in now to infuse additional flavor.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased or lined baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake turns golden and springs back when gently pressed in the center.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy it as is or with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Using Greek yogurt adds moisture and a slight tang, but you can substitute plain yogurt if needed.
  • Greasing or lining the pan ensures easy cake removal.
  • You can add lemon zest or berries for extra flavor variations.
  • If you prefer a sweeter cake, increase sugar slightly according to taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
