Easy Yogurt Cake

This is an easy yogurt cake that uses the yogurt container to measure all of the ingredients. It's ready in under an hour and the perfect not-too-sweet snack or breakfast treat. It's known in France as "Gâteau au Yaourt" and is typically the first cake that French children learn how to make. My son attends a French school and has made this with his classmates.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round springform cake pan.

Step 3

Empty the yogurt into a mixing bowl. Measure the oil, using the yogurt container, and add to the yogurt. Set aside. Rinse yogurt container and dry with paper towel to continue using it as a measuring tool.
