Step by Step Guide to Making Egg Yogurt Cake Bread
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 150g plain Greek yogurt
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 100g granulated sugar
- 1 sachet baking powder (approx. 11g)
- Optional: Chocolate flakes or raisins
Step-by-Step Directions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a cake or loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together for 2 3 minutes until the mixture is pale and airy. This is key to a light texture.
- Step 3: Add in the Greek yogurt and mix until smooth. I prefer full-fat yogurt it adds extra richness.
- Step 4: Sift in the flour and baking powder gradually. Stir with a spatula using folding motions. Don’t overmix just enough to combine.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with chocolate flakes or raisins if using. These little extras turn a basic cake into a cozy treat.
- Step 6: Bake for 25 30 minutes. Keep an eye on it after 25 you want the edges golden and a toothpick to come out clean.
- Step 7: Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Don’t rush this cooling helps the crumb set beautifully.
Chef’s Notes and Troubleshooting Tips
Let me share a few nuggets from my own baking trials:
- Yogurt consistency matters: Greek yogurt gives a dense but moist texture. If using regular yogurt, reduce it slightly to avoid thinning the batter.
- Don’t skip sifting: It helps you avoid clumps and makes your batter smoother.
- Want a fluffier rise? Warm your eggs to room temperature before beating. Cold eggs won’t aerate as well.
- Rising trouble? Your baking powder might be old. Always check the expiration it can make or break the cake’s lift.
