Ingredients
-
1 (5 ounce) container plain yogurt
-
1/2 yogurt container vegetable oil
-
2 large eggs
-
1 1/2 yogurt containers white sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 3/4 yogurt containers all-purpose flour
-
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
-
1 pinch salt
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round springform cake pan.
-
Empty the yogurt into a mixing bowl. Measure the oil, using the yogurt container, and add to the yogurt. Set aside. Rinse yogurt container and dry with paper towel to continue using it as a measuring tool.
-
Add eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the yogurt-oil mixture. Beat well until thoroughly combined. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined; batter will be thick. Pour into the prepared cake pan and spread to level the top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Cook’s Note
A 5 oz yogurt container is equivalent to 3/4 cup. If you would like to make this cake but do not have a 5 oz container, use the following measurements: 3/4 cup plain yogurt; 1 1/2 cups white sugar; 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil; 1 1/3 cups flour.
Try adding your favorite flavors or additions. A great one is 1/2 yogurt container of mini chocolate chips! You could use lemon yogurt and add lemon zest for a lemon yogurt cake. The possibilities are endless! If you use a flavored and sweetened yogurt instead of plain, consider reducing the added sugar to 1 yogurt container.
