Gâteau au Yaourt

Pamela Druckerman

Yogurt Cake from Bringing Up Bébé by Pamela Druckerman

Course cake, Dessert

Cuisine French

Servings 8 slices

2 6 oz. containers of plain, whole-milk yogurt (use the empty containers to measure the other ingredients)
2 eggs
2 containers sugar (or just one, depending on how sweet you like things–I used one, and I found it sweet enough)
1 tsp vanilla
Just under one container vegetable oil
4 containers flour
1½ tsps baking powder
crème fraîche (optional)
frozen berries or chocolate chips (optional–I used about 5 oz. of chocolate chips)

Preheat oven to 375°F
Use vegetable oil to grease a 9-inch round cake pan or loaf pan.
Gently combine the yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and oil.
Separately, mix together the flour and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be sure not to over mix.
If you like, add in berries, chocolate chips, or any other flavoring.
Bake for 35 minutes. Bake for 5 more if the cake doesn't pass the knife test. It should be almost crispy on the outside and springy on the inside.
