Ingredients
– 1 ΒΎ cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– Β½ teaspoon table salt or ΒΎ teaspoon kosher salt
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– Β½ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
– Β½ cup plain whole milk yogurt
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– ΒΌ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (176Β°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2-In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This sets the base for your vanilla loaf cakeβs structure.
3-Next, beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer for 3-4 minutes until they turn light and thick, forming a ribbon when you lift the beaters.
While the mixer is running, slowly pour in the vegetable or canola oil to fully emulsify the batter, creating that signature moist texture.
4-Mixing and Baking Steps
Mix in the yogurt and vanilla extract until everything blends smoothly, adding a creamy tang and rich aroma.
Gently stir in the dry ingredients with a spoon or spatula just until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form, then gently fold it into the batter until about 90% incorporated, leaving some streaks for extra airiness.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-43 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
