French Yogurt Cake Recipe
You all know that i love baking cakes. Even though i bake complicated and tricky fun cakes occasionally. Most of the time i go for simple tea time cakes. Not only they are easy to make, but they taste really great with a cup of tea or milk.
This is one cake which some of my viewer have been asking me to bake. i have a eggless version of tutti frity cake recipe in my blog. Some of them wanted a version with eggs. So i decided to make one.
Ingredients for French Yogurt Cake
- All Purpose Flour / Maida - 1 ½ cup / 180 grams + 2 tsp
- Baking Powder - 2 tsp
- Salt - ¼ tsp
- Cooking Oil - ½ cup / 120 ml
- Curd / Yogurt - ¾ cup / 180 ml
- Sugar - 1 cup / 200 grams

(My 1 cup measures 240 ml)
Couple days back i had a container of thick yogurt which urged me to try a yogurt cake with it. So i referred google and found a pretty simple recipe. I took that recipe and added some tutti fruity to it. It turned out super tasty.

Hi Aarthi!
I am a very very very big fan of you. I wish you all the very best in your future. I have a question, if we want to make double the quantity of french yogurt cake, can we bake it in 8/8 inches pan or other big baking pan and do we need to maintain same temperature for same time or more?
Thanks in advance.
Aarthi
@Anonymoususe a bigger pan, same temp but timing will vary

Dear Aarathi,
I found your blog via pinterest, and I stayed a little while reading your many yummy recipes. I'm done to try your white chocolate cheesecake bar - so decadent!
Then I landed on your French yogurt cake recipe, that look very nice, but I want to give you the real recipe of this cake 😉
In France yogurt are sold in individual cups, measuring 125 ml. This cup is used for measuring other ingredients of this recipe. For the recipe A la française, you need a cup that measures 125 ml (and not the regular measuring cup).
So the proportion will be:
- 1 cup of yogurt
- 3 cup of flour
- 2 cup of sugar (personaly I put 1 1/4 and it is enough for my taste)
- 1/2 cup of oil
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/2 spoon baking powder
You mix all the ingredients. At that point you can add whatever you want (cocoa powder, fruits, nuts...).
You bake 35 minutes at 180 degrees C.
Try it! I hope you will like it 🙂
