This yogurt cake is tender and delicious. Its airy, slightly moist texture, subtle aroma of cardamom, and juicy pieces of plums that become simply melt-in-your-mouth after baking — it’s worth making to delight your guests or treat yourself.
Ingredients:
3 large plums; ½ cup canola or olive oil; 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt without additives; 1 cup granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1.5 tsp vanilla extract; ½ tsp cardamom; 2 cups flour; 1.5 tsp baking powder; 1 tsp salt.
How to Prepare:
Take a large bowl and whisk the oil with the yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and airy. You should get a smooth, fluffy mixture. Add the ground cardamom, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix everything with a spatula — it’s okay if there are a few small lumps, just don’t overdo it.
Prepare the baking pan: line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Now, beautifully arrange the sliced plums in a circle — they will decorate the cake and give it an amazing juicy flavor.
Send the pan to the preheated oven for about 50 minutes. It will be ready when it turns golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost dry — perhaps with a couple of crumbs.
Take the cake out and let it cool a bit — this way, it will come out of the pan more easily. Serve it with milk, tea, or coffee.
