Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly until well combined.
- Add the Greek yogurt and sugar to the eggs and mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Gradually sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps.
Step 4: Combine and Stir
- Once all ingredients are combined, stir the batter gently until smooth. Do not overmix, as this can affect the texture.
Step 5: Bake
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and enjoy! Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or serve with fresh fruit on top.
Tips for Success
- Flavor Add-ins: To add extra flavor, you can mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, lemon zest, or cinnamon.
- Use Full-Fat Greek Yogurt: Full-fat Greek yogurt will provide a richer flavor and moisture to the cake.
- Storage: This cake stays fresh at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
