Yogurt sponge cake recipe is one of the essentials in the kitchen, and you can also use it as a base to make any other flavour!

This recipe is one of the easiest and quickest desserts to make: it does not matter if you are just starting in baking or you are an expert, with this recipe you will have a spectacular result! The result will be a sponge cake full of flavour, with a spongy texture… you will want to eat in breakfast, lunch, dinner … At any time of the day!

This sponge cake recipe is prepared with ingrediens that anyone can have in their kitchen (yogurt, flour, sugar, eggs, oil and baking powder) and it is not needed to use a weighting scale or weight any ingredient; you only need a yogurt pot as a measure and remember the following proportions; 1, 2, 3, 4.

And why these proportions? Because we will use the yogurt pot as a dosage measure for the rest of the ingredients, so easy!

In a bowl we will add the yogurt pot (natural, without sugar), 1 yogurt pot of olive oil (I normally use olive oil (0,4 º), but you can also use sunflower oil), 2 pots of sugar (although I use to add little less; 1 or 1 & 1/2 would be enough), 3 wheat flour pots and 4 eggs (L Size). add a tablespoon of baking powder, beat all ingredients together, bake the sponge cake and you will have a delicious and fluffy sponge cake.

And remember that you can make this recipe to have a more classic flavour, but you also can make a LEMON sponge cake, COCOA sponge cake, KIWI sponge cake … The flavour you love!

FLUFFY YOGURT SPONGE CAKE

INGREDIENTS (For 1 sponge cake mold of 26 -28 cm diameter)

1 pot of natural yogurt (without sugar)
1 pot of olive oil (0,4 º)
2 (you can reduce it to 1 y 1/2) pots of sugar
3 pots of wheat flour
4 eggs (L)
1 tablespoon or sachet of baking powder

PREPARATION

Firstly, pre-heat the oven to 180 ºC. Heat up and down, without fan.

Grease all the sponge mold (both the base and the walls of the mold) with oil. We do this to prevent the cake batter from sticking to the surface of the mold and making it easier to unmold.

Add all the recipe ingredients in a bowl and mix them until everything is well mixed.

If you are not sure which flour is best for making this sponge cake, I can tell you that you can use any type of flour (whole wheat, low & high protein) for this recipe. You can find the explanation in the following link.

After mixing, pour the mixture in the mold and put it in the oven. Place in a medium-low height.

Bake the sponge cake at 180 ºC for around 30 – 35 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and with the central part slightly higher than the sides. I use the top and bottom heat function and without fan. But if you want to use a fan, remember to lower the temperature by 20 ºC and bake the sponge cake at 160 ºC.

Once baked, remove the sponge cake from the oven, cover it with a tea towel and leave it to cool (this way we prevent the cake from suffering a very sudden temperature change after removing it from the oven. This will help to better mantain its spongy structure).

Now just let it cool and… Enjoy it!
