Ingredients
– 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup granulated sugar (optionally increase to 1 1/4 cups for a sweeter cake)
– 1 1/4 cups whole plain Greek yogurt (room temperature)
– 2/3 cup olive oil or light olive oil (vegetable or canola oil are alternatives)
– 3 large eggs (room temperature)
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get things started on the path to a perfect bake.
2-Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by spraying it with non-stick spray, lining the bottom with parchment paper, and spraying the paper again for easy removal.
3-In one bowl, whisk together the 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.
4-In another bowl, whisk together the 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/4 cups whole plain Greek yogurt, 2/3 cup olive oil, 3 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and blended.
5-Gently add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir just until combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the cake light and moist.
6-Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly for uniform baking.
7-Bake for 33 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs, signaling a perfect yogurt cake.
