π Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups granulated sugar (measured using the empty yogurt container)
- 1 container fruit yogurt (approx. 150g)
- 1 cup vegetable oil (measured using the empty yogurt container)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (measured using the empty yogurt container)
- 1 packet baking powder (approx. 10-12g)
Topping & Serving
- to taste pitted sour cherries (well-drained)
- to taste powdered sugar (for dusting)
π¨π³ Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a standard baking pan (approx. 20x30 cm or 9x13 inches) to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, fruit yogurt, vegetable oil, flour, and baking powder. Whisk or mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform batter.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Scatter the well-drained pitted sour cherries evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Dust and Serve
Let the cake cool slightly. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar, slice into squares, and serve.
