Yogurt Cake recipe
Ingredients:
1 ½ | 250 g all-purpose flour
1 cup | 250 g yogurt (choose between Greek yogurt, plain or flavored yogurt)
¾ cup | 150 g sugar
⅔ cup | 150 g butter
⅔ cup | 80 g cornstarch
1 lemon, grated peel
salt, a pinch
4 eggs
1 ½ tsp baking powder
Method:
To prepare the yogurt cake, start by working the butter together with the sugar, better if with an electric whisk to get a softer and frothier mixture.
Add the eggs one by one, working the mixture with a spoon, and waiting for each egg to be completely amalgamated before inserting another one.
At this point add the yogurt, salt, and the grated peel of an untreated lemon.
Continue stirring to amalgamate the ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the flour and baking powder. Add them to the dough always stirring from top to bottom, to avoid dismantling the mixture.
Then grease a baking pan with butter, dust it with flour and pour in the dough. Level with a spatula and bake in an already heated oven letting it cook for 50 minutes at 180° C / 356° F. Let it cool before serving.
