Prepare Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25-30 minutes
Ready Time: 40-45 minutes
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients:
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt or buttermilk, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and the sugar is dissolved.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, it is ready to be served. You can enjoy it plain, dust it with powdered sugar, or frost it with your favorite frosting.
Note: The texture of an eggless sponge cake may be slightly denser than a traditional sponge cake. You can enhance the flavor by adding lemon zest, cocoa powder, or other flavorings of your choice to the batter.
Enjoy the light and airy texture of the eggless sponge cake, suitable for those with dietary restrictions or preferences!
