Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt (whole milk or Greek-style)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon or orange zest (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add oil and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and zest (if using).
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle with a citrus glaze or dust with powdered sugar.
- Use flavored yogurt like lemon or vanilla for a twist—reduce sugar slightly.
- Greek yogurt gives a denser texture; thin with a little milk if needed.
- Fold in fresh berries, chocolate chips, or nuts for variety.
