It’s only a matter of combining the ingredients in a bowl and baking them. The ultimate result is a beautiful and tasty yoghurt cake that you’ll want to make over and over.

DOES YOGURT ADD MOISTURE TO CAKES?

“Can I use yoghurt in baking?” and “What does yoghurt do in baking?” are frequently asked questions.

To answer, 81% of yoghurt is water, and 5% is fat, which is made from whole milk.

Consequently, the cake is moist because of the addition of moisture and fat from yoghurt. Always moist, a cake made with yoghurt never goes wrong. It’s always incredibly tender and moist and a total treat every time. You can use yoghurt to make cakes moist if you want to bake.

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOGURT CAKE IS HEALTHY?

Yoghurt and olive oil are the primary ingredients in yoghurt cake, making it a nutritious dessert option. As we all know, yoghurt is a great source of nutrients, and this recipe doesn’t use any butter.

Blackberries and raspberries are rich with antioxidants and are great for our overall health, making them an excellent choice for dessert.

Advice on making a cake out of yoghurt.

• Use a high-quality Greek yoghurt. The Greek Gods Plain Greek Yogurt was what I used. It’s best not to use low-fat or store-brand yoghurt because the final product will be less flavorful.
• Olive oil that is extra virgin. The flavor and moistness of the cake are enhanced by using high-quality olive oil—Pompeian Imported Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from the Pompeian brand (Full-Bodied Flavor).
• The best way to serve this cake is to let it sit for at least a day, but you can also serve it once it has cooled.
• At room temperature and tightly wrapped in plastic, keep it for a day or two in order to serve it. Before serving, decorate the cake with the berries. If desired, top with a big dollop of whipped cream.
