👩🍳 How to Make French Yogurt Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, oil, and yogurt, then mix until smooth.
Next, stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice for a fresh citrus flavor.
Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two parts, mixing gently until you get a smooth batter.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Line a 27×18 cm baking dish with parchment paper and pour the batter into the pan evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for 35–40 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Final Touch
Once baked, lightly brush the top with diluted honey and sprinkle shredded coconut over the cake for extra flavor and texture.
