Ingredients:
You'll need:
- Greaseproof paper
- Cake tin
Steps to follow:
First, preheat the oven between 350 and 375ºF (170-180ºC). Then, beat the eggs and sugar slowly until they come together in a yellow mass. The dough should get a rather pale colour and should not have lumps.
Then continue slowly adding the rest of the ingredients in to the bowland mixing them in thoroughly, keeping the flour and the baking powder aside, to be mixed in a seperate bowl and added to the mixture last.
While mixing all the ingredients into a consistent and smooth dough we must prepare the cake tin that we will use. Grease the tin with butter using a pastry brush so that the baking paper doesn't stick to the tin and in turn the cake doesn't stick once we put it in the oven. In this way we avoid destroying the cake and it will come out even more perfect.
After this, mix together the flour and yeast in a separate bowl and then add this mixture to the rest of the ingredients a little at a time, constantly stirring so that any lumps which appear disappear as well as incorporating air in to the mixture, making our case light and spongey.
Place the mold in the oven, and let cook 35-40 minutes, until golden brown on top, and a toothpick comes out clean.
Once the cake is ready, turn off the oven and open the door. No need to open it at all the way, just a few centimetres to let the cold air in slowly and so that the cake does not deflate due to the excessive temperature change. It is advisable to leave it in the oven in these circumstances for about ten minutes before removing from the oven and letting it cool. And so, we have our yoghurt sponge cake.

Tips
- It is recommended that you use the lemon yogurt containers as a measure for the other ingredients. Once emptied, wash with water and can use for the rest of the ingredients.
- Do not let the cake rest too much among which you have finished it or when you are about to put it in the oven to avoid the cells we have previously discussed being destroyed.
- Do not open the oven while it is baking because that will cause the mixture to rise which we cannot undo. Once it looks done and it has spent the majority of the time in the oven, you can open the oven and prick the cake with toothpick to see if it is well done inside or whether it needs a little more time.
- Let it stand and cool before serving or decorating.
