Ingredients

  • 300 ml – 1 ¼ cups yoghurt
  • 150 g – 1 ¼ cups plain flour
  • 300 g – 2 ½ cups self-raising flour
  • 225 g – 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 380 ml – 1 ½ cups milk
  • 75 ml – ⅓ cup vegetable oil – preferably sunflower oil
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • butter – for greasing the cake tin
  • icing sugar – for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine the plain flour and self-raising flour in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

  2. Using an electric mixer, whisk together the yoghurt, flour mixture, sugar, milk, baking powder, and vegetable oil until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Grease a 23 cm – 9-inch round springform pan with butter, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C – 355°F. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

    Note: Avoid opening the oven during the first 30 minutes of baking, as a drop in temperature may affect the rise.

  5. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
  6. Dust the top with icing sugar and serve.
