- Yogurt-1 cup
- Sugar-3/4 cup

- Baking powder- 1 and 1/4 tsp
- Vegetable oil- 1/2 cup
- Vanilla essence-1.5 tsp
Method
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C.Line the cake tin with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl,combine together yogurt and sugar.Whisk together until sugar dissolves completely.
- Add baking soda and baking powder to this yogurt-sugar mixture.Mix well and keep aside for 3 to 4 minutes( it will turn frothy)
- Add oil and vanilla essence.Mix well until combined.
- Now sift in the flour in 4 batches and mix gently until combined.
- Immediately pour this batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Note:
- If your cake is browning too much on the top ,loosely cover it with aluminium foil.
- I halved the recipe and baked in a 5″ cake tin.

June 8, 2013 at 6:51 pmSorry to hear that!!!
How long did u bake it??May be you need to bake it for few more minutes..as each oven is different….
and also baking soda/ baking powder has to be fresh/active.
