Unlike most pound cakes that call for sour cream to achieve that dense, moist center, this version requires yogurt, and you can use any kind you want.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain yogurt
Going Step by Step
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the yogurt. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- 10. Slice and serve the delicious Yogurt Pound Cake.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
Tips
- For a variation, you can add lemon zest or poppy seeds to the batter.
- Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature before adding it to the mixture for smoother blending.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top or drizzle with a glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice.
We are sure you are a perfect cook! Nonetheless, do remember to pay attention to the amount of Yogurt Pound Cake you consume: it should always be modified based on the strength of your product and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so it is strongly recommended to start with one portion of a serving. After one or two hours, listen to your body and decide whether to consume more. It is not recommended to drive or operate any machinery when taking edibles. Use responsibly!
