Step 3: Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Step 4: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes (the time depends on the oven).
Step 5: When the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow to cool for 15 to 20 minutes inside the pan.
Step 6: Remove from the pan and place the cake onto a wire rack or serving dish.
Step 7: Let the cake cool completely, decorate with powdered sugar and serve.
TIPS FOR MOIST AND FLUFFY YOGURT CAKE
1. When preheating the oven, make sure you have all ingredients ready to start making the cake.
2. Place the oven rack in the middle. This allows the hot air to circulate evenly around the dough, resulting in even cooking.
3. When placing the cake dough in the oven, the oven should not be too hot, if it is, the cake will rise too quickly and there will be no time for the inside of the cake to cook at the same speed (what often happens is the cake sinks in the middle). If the oven is too hot, leave the oven door open until the temperature drops a little.
