Vanilla Yogurt Butter cake 

Ingredients:

150g unsalted butter, cut into cubes at room temperature

100g castor sugar
3 egg yolks
1½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
125ml plain yogurt
175g cake flour
1½ tsp baking powder
3 egg white
40g castor sugar


Method: 

1. Sift the cake flour and baking powder together into a bowl.
2. In a mixing bowl,  put in the butter and 100g of sugar. Using the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the egg yolks, one at a time  and beat until it is incorporated. Add in the vanilla extract &.plain yogurt.
4. At low speed, add in one third of the flour mixture until done. Stop once mixture is well blended.
5. In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg white and 40g castor sugar until stiff. It's ready when the bowl is overturned and the egg white stays put.
6. Fold in the egg white into the yolk and flour mixture until well blended. The batter may look a little curdled.
7. Pour out the batter into the cake pan lined with baking paper.
8. Bake the cake at 180°C for about 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
9. Remove cake from oven and  place it to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before unmoulding. After unmoulding, remove the baking paper and leave to cool completely.

Enjoy Baking!
