PREP TIME 10 mins

COOK TIME 45 mins

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (226g) plain whole Langage Farm yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (192g) all-purpose flour
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

METHOD

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan lightly with olive oil and line it with parchment paper, leaving about a 1-inch overhang on the long sides, to make a sling.
  • Crack the eggs into a large bowl, add the sugar, and whisk vigorously until pale yellow and frothy, about 1 minute. Whisk in the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract.
  • To the bowl with the wet ingredients, whisk in the baking powder and kosher salt. Add the flour and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined and all of the flour is incorporated. (A few small lumps in the batter are fine, be sure to not overmix.)
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Bake until the cake is lightly browned and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs, about 45 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and let cool for 10 minutes before using the parchment paper sling to lift the cake out of the pan and onto the cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing and serving and enjoy!
