How to make Vanilla Yogurt Cake

Prepare the Cake Batter

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F). Grease and line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan.

  2. Step 2

    In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Step 3

    Add the vegetable oil and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  4. Step 4

    Mix in the plain yogurt and vanilla extract until well combined.

  5. Step 5

    Sift together the plain flour and baking powder, then gradually fold it into the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.

Bake the Cake

  1. Step 1

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

  2. Step 2

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. Step 3

    Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it.

Prepare the Icing Drip

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

  2. Step 2

    Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
