Ingredients:

1 (4.5-5oz (125-140g)) pot of yogurt
4 large eggs, room temp
2 pots of granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
3 pots of all purpose flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
½ pot melted butter
Baking spray or softened butter for greasing the pans

Instructions:

– Preheat your oven to 350F (175C).
– In a large bowl, add the yogurt. Wash our the yogurt pot and dry it. We’ll use this to measure all the other ingredients!
– Whisk in the 4 large eggs followed by 2 pots of granulated sugar and a dash of vanilla.
– Add 3 pots of flour, the baking powder and pinch of salt.
– Add about 2-3 tablespoons of butter to the pot and melt in the microwave. Let cool and whisk this into the batter.
– Choose what you’ll bake the cakes in and either grease them with baking spray or with softened butter and a dusting of flour.
– Pour the batter in about ½ to ¾ of the way full, place on a baking sheet and bake until browning around the edges and bouncing back to the touch.
