Ingredients

1 cup plain yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt)

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

4 large eggs, separated

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize egg whites)

½ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add the egg yolks and sugar, stirring until smooth and well combined.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl, then gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine.
  4. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar (if using) until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 tablespoon of sugar, continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter in two or three additions, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown on top.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  9. Once the cake has completely cooled, top it with the whipped cream and serve. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt for a creamier, richer texture. For a lighter cake, use low-fat or non-fat yogurt.
  • For extra flavor, add lemon zest or vanilla beans to the batter.
  • Top with a variety of fresh berries for added color and freshness.
