Ingredients

1 ½ cup Self-Rising Flour (note 1)
1 cup Vanilla Plant-Based Yogurt (note 2)
⅔ cup Sugar (note 3)
⅓ cup Avocado Oil or canola oil

Optional - recommended for flavor

2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract or 1 teaspoon of almond extract

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 6-inch or 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Oil sides and bottom of the pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk vanilla yogurt, oil, and sugar. If your yogurt is unflavored, or your yogurt has a light vanilla flavor, stir in some vanilla extract.
Fold in flour and stir to incorporate until the batter is thick and smooth.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan.
Bake the cake at 350°F (180°C) for 45-50 minutes for a 6-inch pan or 35-40 minutes for an 8-inch pan. Check if the cake is ready by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's ready to remove from the oven. If not, bake longer, in 10-minute increments, until the crumb is set.
Cool down on a cooling rack before at room temperature for 1 hour before serving.

Notes

Note 1: You can also use 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and add 3 teaspoons of baking powder. I haven't tried all-purpose gluten-free flour and can't guarantee it works. The recipe won't work with almond flour or coconut flour.

Note 2: You can use any yogurt you like. If you are using plain yogurt, you can increase the sugar to 3/4 cup, and you should add the vanilla extract, or the cake will be bland in flavor.

Note 3: You can use any crystal sweetener, like coconut sugar or brown sugar.

Note 4: You can skip the vanilla extract if your vanilla yogurt has a strong vanilla flavor.
