1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, eggs, sugar, and vanilla until creamy.
3. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth.
5. Add oil and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and tap lightly to release air bubbles.
7. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with powdered sugar or top with fruit before serving.
Notes
Always sift the dry ingredients to maximize airiness and eliminate lumps.
Let the cake cool fully before slicing to maintain its structure and fluffiness.
Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and a better rise.
