This delightful yogurt cake is a moist and tender treat perfect for any time of the day. Made with simple ingredients like yogurt, self-raising flour, and fresh or frozen fruit, this cake is easy to prepare and offers a subtle sweetness balanced by the creamy tang of yogurt. Its soft texture and fruity bursts make it an ideal snack or dessert.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Fruit

  • 1 cup Wyman’s of Maine frozen fruit or more to preference


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cake evenly.
  2. Prepare Pan: Grease and line a loaf pan or small cake pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier after baking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, self-raising flour, sugar, oil, eggs, and optional vanilla and salt. Stir well with a spoon until the mixture is smooth and no dry flour patches remain.
  4. Prepare Fruit: To prevent the fruit from bleeding color into the batter, toss the frozen berries with a couple of tablespoons of flour before adding them to the mixture.
  5. Incorporate Fruit: Gently fold the floured fruit into the batter, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes. The cake is done when the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Coating the berries with flour before adding them to the batter helps prevent color bleeding and uneven marbling.
  • You can substitute olive oil with vegetable oil without affecting the taste significantly.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter once the fruit is added to keep the berries intact.
  • Use fresh fruit if you prefer, but adjust baking time slightly if needed.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
