  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

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 cake’s 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.

Notes

🌟 Create an emulsion by slowly adding oil to beaten eggs and sugar for light, moist texture.
πŸŽ‚ Folding whipped cream adds air for a softer, more tender cake.
🍫 Try variations like adding chocolate chips, blueberries, cinnamon sugar swirls, or raspberry swirls before folding in whipped cream.
