• Sunday 12 March 2006 - Yoghourt Cake (gâteau au yaourt)

Posted in baking

The principle of this recipe is to use the empty  jar of yoghourt to measure all the ingredients.

In France, yoghourts are sold in packs of 4, 8, 12 or 16 and each yoghourt contains 125 ml.

I make my own yoghourt with a yoghourt maker, in batches of 8/125 ml yoghourt.

 

This recipe is a popular one! In general, when a mother wants to teach basic baking to a little girl she’ll use this one

 

You need :

1 plain yoghourt jar (125ml, thats about ½ cup)

3 eggs

1 ½ jar of sugar (3/4 cup)

½  jar of sunflower oil (or whatever oil you prefer)

3 jar of flour (1 1/2 cup)

1 sachet baking powder (2 tea spoons)

Add any flavoring you have on hand, often, I put some chocolate chips, or vanilla, or pieces of apple…

If you like it you can flavor it with a table spoon of rum.

 

1)     Mix yoghourt and sugar in a large bowl

2)     Add the beaten eggs, flour, baking powder, oil

3)     Put the mix in a greased cake tin and bake at 350°, 25-30 mns (depends of your oven)

 

Voilà

It looks delicious. I'll be sure to try it :) I just have one question: is the amount of flour 3 jars (1 1/2 cups) or 1 jar (1/2 cup)?

I forgot to ask: Is the girl in the photo your daughter? She's beautiful :)
