Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake:

  • 1 cup plain whole milk yogurt (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup cake flour (or all-purpose flour sifted)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar or lemon juice (for egg whites)

For Dusting:

  • powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Do not grease the sides.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, oil, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla until smooth. Sift in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, and gently fold to combine until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
  3. Whip the egg whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with cream of tartar or lemon juice until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake in a water bath for 45–50 minutes. Let the cake rest in the oven before removing.
  5. Serve: Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
