Yogurt Sponge Cake
Description
Perfect for tea and coffee. Yogurt sponge cake is much softer than the one we bake using the classic recipe. It's very popular in our family. The recipe for yogurt sponge cake is very simple—even my son has been baking it himself since he was 12 :) Let's make it together. 1. Using a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and margarine until you get a smooth, homogeneous mixture. 2. Add yogurt and beat for 1-2 minutes. 3. Mix flour and baking powder, then add to the egg-yogurt mixture. Stir thoroughly. 4. Grease the baking pan with margarine or butter and dust with flour. 5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 30 minutes. Check doneness with a wooden skewer. Ovens vary, so baking time may differ. I bake this sponge cake in a 26 cm (10 inch) round pan. I divide the batter into two parts. To each part, you can add extra ingredients—nuts, cocoa, poppy seeds. This sponge cake makes an excellent base for a cake. Simply cut it and spread with any cream you like. Serve with tea or coffee.
