One-Bowl Brown Sugar Yogurt Cake

This cake uses brown sugar, yogurt, olive oil, and melted butter for a soft crumb and a simple mixing method. Everything goes into one bowl, then into the tin.

Main Characteristics

The cake gets:

moisture from the yogurt and oil
extra flavour from the brown sugar and butter
a straightforward batter that mixes quickly

Texture and Flavour

Brown sugar gives the cake a deeper sweetness than white sugar alone. Yogurt keeps the crumb soft, while the butter helps the cake hold structure as it cools.

Serving Notes

Serve it plain, with fruit, or with tea or coffee. It also works as a simple base for whipped cream or a light syrup.

Baking Notes

Bring the eggs, yogurt, and butter to room temperature before mixing. Start checking the cake a little before the full bake time since ovens vary.
