Yogurt Cake

Flavorful
Description

This cake is one of our most versatile dessert recipes. You can dress it up in countless ways. Enjoy it with a simple dusting of powdered sugar and a cup of coffee, or pile it high with an array of toppings. At the height of summer, we love the classic combination of whipped cream, berries or grilled peaches, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Then, as colder weather arrives, pivot and try topping this cake with warm cinnamon apples and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce. For the holidays, serve it with a rum vanilla cranberry sauce.

Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup canola or olive oil
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • whipped cream and fresh mixed berries, for topping
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together sugar and oil until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, until incorporated. Stir in yogurt and vanilla extract. Gradually add dry ingredients into yogurt mixture until just combined.
  3. Pour batter into a greased a 9-in. round baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. Garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.

Pommes Aligot

This classic French recipe is the ultimate comfort food. It's creamy mashed potatoes mixed with rich, melty cheese. The consistency of these potatoes is exceptionally fun—when they're ready to serve, the aligot should stretch and pull almost like melted mozzarella cheese. Comté and Emmental are the featured cheeses in this recipe, but you can use any semi-firm, Alpine-style cheese. Also, feel free to make the mashed potatoes ahead of time, and then reheat them and add the cheese at the last moment before serving. Just use a little tap water to help reheat the mashed potatoes before adding the cheese.
