Super simple, all you need is a yoghurt pot and no scales to make this gateau au yaourt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pot of natural yoghurt (about 125mls)
  • 2 pots of self raising flour
  • 1 pot of caster sugar
  • Half a pot of vegetable oil (or mild olive /coconut oil if you prefer - all will work)
  • 3 large free-range eggs
  • Splash of vanilla essence
  • Small pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grease and line an 8 inch cake tin. Preheat your oven to 175C.
  2. Add everything to a large mixing bowl and whisk it all together.
  3. Pour into your prepared cake tin and bake for 45 mins (it can take up to  1 hour depending on your oven.) I always check mine at 45 mins and see if it needs more time. It shouldn’t wobble and should be lovely and golden.
  4. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before turning out.

Notes

I like to top with softly whipped cream and berries.
