Directions: |
Directions:Pre-heat oven to 350º F. Butter bottom and sides of a 9" x 13" cake pan, line bottom of pan with parchment, then butter the parchment. Dust buttered pan with flour. Set aside.
Sift together the dry ingredients: Flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream together butter and sugar with a stand or hand mixer on high speed for 3-5 min. Add vanilla and beat in eggs, one at a time, making sure one is fully incorporated before adding the next. With your mixer on low speed alternate adding flour and yogurt to the creamed butter/sugar/egg mixture. Begin and end with the flour, adding about ⅓ in each addition. After the last edition of the flour, mix the batter only until just combined (take care not to over-mix)
Pour and spread batter into the prepared pan. Firmly tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Bake in a 350º oven for 35-45 min. You will know that the cake is done when it pulls from the side of the pan.
Cool cake in the pan for 10 min, then invert the cake onto a serving platter and remove the parchment paper. Frost while still warm. When the cake is completely cool, top with fresh fruit. |

Notes: --1/2 of a batch of frosting is usually enough.
--Works well with any frosting, also delicious without frosting but topped only with fresh fruit
Over the years I haven't had great success with cake baking. My cakes often end up too dry or just not quite right in one way or another. However, this cake is the exception! Every time it has turned out perfectly! It is always moist, has a perfect crumb, and is not too sweet. It is delicious in a very simple way, especially topped with fresh summer fruit.
