Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup of plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 cups of sugar (adjust to taste if less sweetness is preferred)
- 1 cup of cooking oil
- 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup of cornstarch
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and yogurt until smooth. Gradually mix in the cooking oil.
- Sift together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder, then gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch (20-23 cm) cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes without opening the door. After 30 minutes, cover the top of the cake with aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes. Check the doneness and, if necessary, bake for another 10 minutes until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan, then turn out onto a serving plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy this sublime creation that effortlessly brings a touch of sophistication and warmth to your table!
