Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Topping:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the yogurt and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the topping, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then spread over the cooled cake and garnish with fresh berries.
