"The traditional yogurt cake is the model of a soft homemade cake, with a moist crumb and a texture that melts delicately in the mouth. The natural acidity of the yogurt combined with the oil softens the gluten of the flour, producing a fluffy and long-lasting dough."

Delicious Yogurt Cake: Soft and Tasty

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- The plain yogurt breaks down the density of the wheat flour, providing a velvety and moist crumb for days. - The gradual incorporation of the eggs one by one ensures a perfect emulsion between the oil and sugar without separating the fat. - Cooking for 35 minutes at 180°C browns the crust gently while keeping the center spongy and tender.

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Chef Tips

- Use the eggs and yogurt at room temperature so that the emulsion of the dough does not curdle with cold thermal shock. - Sift the flour and baking powder before adding to the liquid mixture to avoid flour lumps inside the cake. - Mix the flour only until the dry residues disappear; over-beating develops gluten and stiffens the crumb.

Variations

- Add a teaspoon of good quality vanilla extract to the egg mixture to perfume the simple batter. - Add lemon or sweet orange zest to bring aromatic citrus notes to the yogurt cake. - Sprinkle powdered sugar mixed with a pinch of cinnamon over the already unmolded and cold cake.

Substitutions

- Whole natural yogurt can be replaced with skim yogurt, fresh curd, or homemade kefir yogurt. - The common vegetable oil can be swapped for sunflower oil, corn oil, or warm melted unsalted butter. - Refined white sugar can be replaced with crushed demerara sugar or crystal sugar in the same measure.

How to Store

Keep the cake in a cake dome with a lid in a cool and airy place for up to 4 days. The yogurt dough preserves moisture and softness longer than milk-based cakes, not requiring immediate refrigeration.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze the already baked cake whole or in slices well sealed in plastic film for up to 3 months. To thaw, keep the slice at room temperature for 40 minutes or heat it in the microwave for 15 seconds.

What to Serve With

It is the classic pair to accompany afternoon drip coffee, creamy cafe au lait, or hot fennel tea. It also serves as an excellent base to be enjoyed with homemade strawberry or creamy guava jam.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use strawberry or coconut flavored yogurt in this recipe?

You can, but the cake will gain the artificial aroma and extra sweetness of the product; the full-fat natural yogurt ensures the classic texture.

Why use oil instead of butter in yogurt cake?

The oil keeps the cake moist and fluffy even after days or when cooled, while butter tends to firm up the cake.

How to prevent the cake from sinking in the center after baking?

Do not open the oven before 25 minutes of baking and make sure the toothpick in the center comes out clean before removing.

Can I blend this batter in the blender to be faster?

Beat the eggs, oil, sugar, and yogurt in the blender, but incorporate the flour and baking powder by hand with a spatula in the bowl.
