This traditional cake is taught by French grandmothers to their grandchildren. It’s a simple recipe that young, novice cooks can easily navigate. Adorable yogurt “pots” are the measuring device. It’s a one-bowl, stir-and-bake cake that’s simply delicious. We’ve included a darling illustration from French Studio for a great visual guide. We’ve also listed both the traditional French “yogurt pot” measuring technique as well as our conversion into measuring cup quantities.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 325°F.
2.Grease a 9-inch round baking pan with butter or non-stick spray. Dust with flour. We also lined our pan with parchment.
3.In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, sugar, oil, eggs, salt and extracts until well combined. Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well.
4.Scrape into prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes or until the cake springs back in the center and a toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
