Ingredients
- 2¼ cups + 2 tablespoons cake/pastry flour (300 grams total)
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil (I use sunflower or corn oil)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
- ½ cup greek yogurt (room temperature)
- ¼ cup milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
EXTRAS
- ⅓-½ cup jam (strawberry, blueberry, cherry or wild berry)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Grease and flour an 8 or 9 inch cake pan (I used an 8 inch).
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In the mixing bowl beat the sugar and vegetable oil until light 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs and yolk 1 at a time, beat to combine after each addition. Add the yogurt, milk and vanilla, beat 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredient in 3 additions. Beat 1 minute.
- Spread ½ the batter* in the prepared cake pan, bake 15 minutes, remove and spread the jam on top, carefully spread the remaining batter on top of the jam and continue to bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Let cool in pan 15-20 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
- *I just eyed it and as you can see from the photos I was a bit off, if you want it even then you will have to measure or weigh the batter.
Notes
- To make your own cake flour, for every cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons and replace with corn starch. Sift the ingredients together to remove any lumps.
- You can substitute the vegetable oil with 1/2 cup soft butter.
- Once the cake is cool, you can cover it well with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container, it will keep at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving.
- You can freeze it, too. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in a large freezer bag or airtight container. It will keep in the freezer for up to two months.
