Notes
- For best results, ensure all your ingredients, especially the eggs and yogurt, are at room temperature before mixing. This allows for even blending and a smoother batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
- When combining the dry ingredients with the wet, mix just until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture, so a gentle hand is key to a tender cake.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring it hangs over the edges for easy removal. This not only prevents sticking but also makes cleaning up real easy.
- To test if your cake is done, insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the cake is ready. If it has batter on it, continue baking in 5-minute increments.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps the cake set and prevents it from breaking apart when removed from the pan.
