Step-by-Step Instructions
Now, let’s dive into making this delectable cake! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add in the yogurt, vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt, creating a smooth batter. For an extra light texture, I always take care to mix gently using a spatula to avoid deflating the mixture.
