Description
A simple, tender cake that brightly flavors any afternoon tea or light dessert, featuring moist yogurt and sweet-tart apricots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped apricots (fresh or canned)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a large bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped apricots. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra richness, serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This cake keeps moist for days thanks to the yogurt.
