Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (227g) Greek yogurt
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Serving (optional)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Lightly sweetened Greek yogurt
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
- Get ready: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a standard (9X5-inch) loaf pan with olive oil or baking spray. Line the bottom and two sides with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
- Make the batter: Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture and mix with a rubber spatula just until combined and no streaks of dry flour remain.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then use the parchment paper like a sling to lift the cake out of the pan and onto a wire rack to finish cooling to room temperature.
- Serve: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar. Slice and serve with a dollop of lightly sweetened Greek yogurt and fruit. The cake will keep for up to 4 days tightly wrapped at room temperature.
