This recipe is insanely easy. Use the pot the yoghurt comes in to measure out the other ingredients.
1 small pot of plain yoghurt
1 pot vegetable oil (sunflower or other flavourless)
1 to 2 pots of sugar (depending on taste)
3 pots plain flour
3 eggs
1 rounded tbsp baking powder
Putting it together:
Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.
1) Measure out all the ingredients using the yoghurt pot into a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth batter.
2) Pour into a loaf tin (approx 9’ x 5’) and bake for 45 to 55 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean (I have noticed that the time very much depends on the oven).
Variations:
Stuff I've played with and that's worked out well. Send me yours.
Lemon: add juice and zest of a lemon
Apple: chop one large or two medium apples into smallish pieces and add to batter before pouring into loaf tine. Add 5 mins or so to cooking time.
Banana and choc chip: add 1 large or 2 small well mashed bananas and 150 grams of dark chocolate chips to the batter. Add 5 to 7 mins cooking time.
Coconut: use coconut yoghurt and add a handful desiccated coconut to the batter.
