Ingredients

Scale

1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 cup cornstarch
½ cup fresh lemon juice (optional)
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and sugar, whisking until smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture, stirring until well combined.
If using, fold in the lemon juice and zest for extra flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a lighter cake, you can replace part of the yogurt with an equal volume of whipped egg whites. This cake can also be topped with fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar for an added touch.
