How to Make Yoghurt Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the yoghurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Dust with icing sugar (optional) before serving and enjoy!
