Recipe Of The Week: Yogurt cake

• 23 Aug 2016 9:00 AM

A scrumptious yogurt cake you can make in moments, when you have unexpected guests at the door.

Ingredients for about 20 pieces:
2 cups any flavor yogurt
1 egg
100 g sugar
20 g vanilla sugar
cinnamon
100 g margarine
200 g flour
1 tsp baking powder
salt
confectioners’ sugar
margarine
breadcrumbs

Preparation time: 10 minutes + 30-40 min. baking time

Difficulty: ☺

Preparation: Measure the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 200 ºC.

In a bowl, combine egg, sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt with the yogurt. Melt the margarine, gently stir into the mixture. Add the flour to get a thick dough. Flavor it with cinnamon, then stir in the baking powder.

Grease and flour a 26 cm baking pan. Pour in the dough. Bake the cake 30 to 40 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Sprinkle the cake with confectioners’ sugar.

Hint:

You can use plain yogurt instead of flavored yogurt, just add fresh or frozen fruit into the dough. Also, you can make the cake with any flavor jam instead of fruits. 

You can replace yogurt with sour cream. 

The cake will be good without the egg and margarine as well – but of course, much better with these ingredients.
Make sure the melted margarine is not too hot when you stir it into the mixture: it cooks the egg.
