Greek Yoghurt Tea Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup Attiki Greek Yoghurt (full-fat or low-fat, depending on your preference)
1 ½ cups plain flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
A pinch of salt
Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for added flavor)
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Attiki Greek Yoghurt, sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. If you're using lemon zest, add it here.
Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix—just stir until everything is incorporated.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy your fluffy and moist Greek yoghurt cake! It’s perfect for serving with tea or as a light dessert.
