About oven

• Choose traditional heat. On my oven, I’ve chosen traditional heat with a top and bottom plate.
• Prehheat your oven at 180°C or thermostat 6-8. An put your cake on a middle position plate during 30 minutes.
• I check the cooking with a knife. I stick the knife into the cake, if the knife is dry, the cake is cooked, otherwise I leave it to cook a little longer.

Tips yogurt cake

• Take a greek yogurt for added softness
• Choose eggs at room temperature for more effective emulsification.
• Add oil last to preserve structure and prevent loss of flavour. If you don’t respect this your cake will be flat and less tasty !
• Adding a little salt to the flour balances the flavors and reduces the amount of water in the batter, making the cake lighter and airier.
• You can separate the whites from the yolks and fold in the yolks first, then the whites, beaten until stiff, for a lighter paste.
