A simple, moist, and tender yogurt pound cake with a soft crumb and subtle tang, perfect for coffee, dessert, or even breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold in the lemon zest if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool slightly before removing it from the pan and slicing.

Notes

  • Greek yogurt can be used for a slightly denser texture.
  • A light citrus glaze can be added for extra flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • Measure flour carefully to avoid dryness.
