Tips & Notes
  • Measurements: For the best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients.
  • Yogurt: I would recommend using full-fat or whole milk yogurt, and it should be at room temperature.
  • Oil: Oil makes the cake light, but you can replace the oil with melted butter for the buttery cake.
  • Mixing The Batter: Do not overmix the batter to get the soft and tender cake.You can frost the cake with your favorite icing.
  • Frosting: You can frost the cake with whipped cream or buttercream. If you like, cut the cake in two horizontal layers and fill the icing in between the cake layers.
