How to make a yogurt cake: step-by-step recipe

Making yogurt cake is easy and the recipe is very simple. To make it accessible and understandable, I have divided the process of preparing it into eight stages.

1. Since the dough prepares very quickly - you just need to mix the necessary ingredients, so we first turn on the oven at 190-200 degrees so that it has time to warm up.

2. Remove the butter from the refrigerator until it melts slightly and becomes soft.

3. Step 3 Ingredients:

• butter – 100 g;
• sugar – ¾ cup;

Cream the butter well with sugar. This can be done either with a spoon or with a mixer.

4. Step 4 Ingredients:

• eggs – 2 pcs;
• vanillin - on the tip of a knife;
• drinking yogurt – 1 tbsp.

Beat eggs into the resulting mixture, add yogurt, and add vanillin. Mix the ingredients well.

To achieve a more delicate taste, use only yolks.

5. Step 5 Ingredients:

• flour – 2 tbsp;
• baking powder – 10 g.

Mix flour with baking powder. And add small portions to the mixture. The yogurt dough should have the consistency of thick sour cream.

6. You can make one large cupcake. To do this, the dough is laid out on a pre-greased form. I made muffins with yogurt in molds. Mine are metal. So as not to lubricate them with anything, I put paper molds in them. I put one tablespoon of dough into each mold, then placed one teaspoon of strawberry jam in the center and covered it with dough so that there was at least 3-5 mm left to the top of the mold. I got 12 cupcakes.

7. Place the yogurt cake in a preheated oven. Baking time will be 20-30 minutes. The baking should become uniform in color and acquire an “appetizing” dark golden color.

8. Once ready, yogurt baked goods should be left in the oven until completely cooled. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, remove them and sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.

Useful tips

1. All ingredients used for baking yogurt muffins should be at room temperature;
2. It is better to combine wheat flour with other types of flour, such as buckwheat or oatmeal. This will definitely improve the taste of the muffins and make them healthier;
3. Dark chocolate should be chosen with a high cocoa content. Then the taste of chocolate cupcakes will be rich and bright;
4. The mold in which you will bake the chocolate cake must be greased and sprinkled with cocoa powder mixed with fine granulated sugar or simply lined with cooking paper;
5. Sugar in muffins can be replaced with stevia extract, honey or dried fruits;
6. The butter in the muffins can be partially replaced with grated carrots, homemade pumpkin or applesauce;
7. Yogurt muffins should be baked in a moderately hot oven. The baking surface should be golden brown. If the cake is not yet baked and the top is already browned, be sure to cover it with foil to prevent it from burning.

Be sure to please your loved ones with a cupcake baked with yogurt. It’s not difficult, the baked goods will turn out so tender that everyone in the household will be on duty in the kitchen to be the first to get their piece.

Cooking tips and tricks

1. If you don’t have baking powder on hand, then baking soda - ¼ tsp. It is better to add soda before adding flour. Baking powder is poured directly into the flour.
2. When kneading the dough, you need to focus on its consistency, so flour should be added gradually.
   You may need less or more flour than indicated in the recipe. The main thing is to achieve the correct thickness.
3. orange or lemon zest to the dough for taste . This will give the baked goods a light, zesty citrus taste. Depending on preference, cinnamon, cardamom, and almond flour are also added to the dough. If the baked goods are intended only for adults, you can soak them in cognac or liqueur. When kneading the dough, the yolks can be separated from the whites and only the yolks . Beat the whites well with a little salt and add them to the dough after adding flour.
4. To keep baked goods soft longer, part of the flour should be replaced with starch .
5. You can check the readiness of the cake by carefully inserting a match, toothpick or wooden stick into it. The yogurt cake is ready when the stick comes out completely dry.
6. A common problem that housewives face is that the muffins remain raw inside and begin to burn on top. You can solve this by covering the top of the baked goods with paper .
7. For baking, you can use metal, silicone and glass molds.
8. Muffins can be prepared plain or with the addition of any favorite jam, jam, chocolate, crushed nuts, raisins and other dried fruits and candied fruits.
   It is good to add ingredients that match the taste of yogurt. For example, if you use cherry yogurt, then add dried or fresh cherries to the baking. If you are using pineapple yogurt, then add canned pineapple etc. inside the baked goods.
9. You can prepare baked goods with yogurt both in the oven and in a slow cooker , if it has a “Baking” mode. To do this, grease the multicooker bowl with butter. Place the dough into it and smooth it out. Select the “Baking” program. Set cooking time to 1 hour.
10. The muffins will be delicious and soft even the next day after baking if they are stored in a bag . There is no need to put them in the refrigerator.

Yoghurt muffins with dried fruits for tea

This recipe is interesting not only because of the dough, which differs little from the traditional Greek one, but also because of the filling. Hidden behind the golden crust are candied fruits, dried apricots and raisins, which have a pleasant aroma of rum. If desired, the baked goods can be soaked in the same alcohol half an hour before serving. If the muffins are being prepared for tea with small children, pour grape or pomegranate juice over the dried fruits.

Video recipe for making yogurt cake

After watching the video, you will learn what consistency the dough should be and what the finished product looks like. The only thing I want to warn you against is the mistake that the woman in the video makes when she pours in all the ingredients almost immediately, without stirring.

Knead the muffin dough correctly, adding the ingredients in a certain sequence: first butter and sugar, then eggs and yogurt, and only then dry ingredients. In this case, the introduction of each product must be accompanied by stirring. This is the only way to achieve a fluffy and tender dough.
