Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups plain yogurt (greek or regular, your choice) Ensure that your yogurt is halal-certified for compliance.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 0.25 cups vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture, folding gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Substitutions: Use low-fat yogurt or replace vegetable oil with applesauce. Keep an eye on the baking time and avoid opening the oven door too early to prevent collapsing. Measure flour accurately to ensure a light cake. Store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
