Yogurt cake:
Without a doubt, it is one of the star recipes in the world of cakes and, specifically, that of Directo al Paladar has fallen in love with us.
For brighten up our breakfasts and snacks, we want to teach you how to prepare the yogurt sponge cake, a basic classic to start in the confectionery that always comes out well and that does not require – like other recipes for sweets and cakes – exact measurements and precise weights of the ingredients, since everything is done to from the measure of a container of yogurt.
Remembering the proportions is very simple because oil, sugar and flour, -ordered alphabetically- carry the proportion of 1, 2 and 3, that is, one measure of oil, two measures of sugar and three measures of flour. With those simple ingredients, a natural or lemon yogurt, a little yeast or propellant and three eggs, we have everything you need to make a cake that always turns out well.
This cake from yogurt is delicious and it is perfect to accompany it with a glass of cold milk, a coffee with milk or an iced tea or any infusion.
Nothing is easier than this recipe for yogurt cake, always remember measures 1, 2, and 3, applied to the ingredients ordered alphabetically. In a bowl add the content of a glass of yogurt and add three eggs, a measure of sunflower oil and two measures of sugar. Afterwards, it is beaten.
On the other hand, mix the flour, 3 measures of the yogurt glass, with the yeast and stir so that it is evenly distributed. Helped by the rods, little by little the flour is incorporated on the bowl with the rest of the ingredients, letting a dough form while we beat and add the flour as it is incorporated. So that the cake has a more citrus flavor, you can add the zest of a lemon.
Next, preheat the oven to 180ºC for about ten minutes and we will have buttered a cake mold. Now we just need to pour the dough into our mold and let it bake without opening the oven door for 35 minutes. It is important not to open so that the temperature inside the oven does not drop and the cake does not fall.
After 30 minutes we can quickly open and verify the doneness by putting a wooden skewer in the dough to check if it comes out clean or dirty. In the first case, the cake will be ready. If something dirty comes out, we wait another five minutes and turn off the oven.
