Gâteau au Yaourt (Yogurt Cake)

Growing up in France, every kid learned how to make this easy yogurt cake. All you need is a container of yogurt and a few pantry staples, and you use the yogurt container as a measuring cup for the other ingredients.  Read more about it and lots of other delicious desserts in Chef Dominique’s  upcoming cookbook, Everyone Can Bake: Simple Recipes to Master & Mix (out April 14, 2020).

Here’s what you need:

Ingredients:
1 container (7oz) yogurt (plain full fat or Greek yogurt)

1 tsp salt

Tools:
Large mixing bowl
Wooden spoon or spatula
Round cake pan or loaf pan

Method:
1) Preheat your oven to 360F
2) Butter and flour your cake/loaf pan (you can also use cooking spray)
3) Combine all ingredients except the eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Stir with a spatula until smooth and free of any lumps. Add the eggs and vanilla in stir until combined.
4) Pour the batter into the prepared cake/loaf pan. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a paring knife/cake tester comes out clean. Once baked, let cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan. Enjoy!
