French Yogurt Cake

French Yogurt Cake has been made by French grandmothers and taught to toddling grandchildren since time began. It’s a wonderfully moist, light crumbed, simple cake that’ll make quite the impression come tea time…

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pot of natural yogurt sugar free about 125mls but don’t be too strict on this
  • 2 Pots of self raising flour
  • 1 Pot of white sugar
  • Half a pot of mild olive oil or vegetable/ coconut oil if you prefer
  • 3 Large free-range eggs
  • Splash of vanilla essence
  • Small pinch of salt
  • Handful of raspberries or chocolate chips blackberries, blueberries, whatever you fancy!
  • Large-ish loaf tin

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 180C. Add your yogurt to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add two pots of flour and one of sugar. Throw in a small pinch of salt.
  3. Add half a pot of oil, your vanilla and your eggs.
  4. Beat until you have a gloriously shiny, fragrant batter.
  5. Pour into your loaf tin. (Be sure to grease the tin if it’s not silicone).
  6. If you like you can add a few berries/chips in half way through pouring, or just dot into the top.
  7. Place them in and poke down until almost submerged.
  8. Bake for 45mins – 1 hour, depending on your oven.
  9. If it’s still a bit wobbly at 45mins, give it 10 more, and so on.
  10. Once it’s firmed up and golden, it’s done!
  11. Pop onto a pretty plate and snow with icing sugar (through a sieve).
