This cake is simple to bake and it tastes amazing, it’s so moist and packed with the right flavours. Perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. To maintain the fluffiness of this cake, you will substitute the eggs with yoghurt. You can use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer. Add milk, yoghurt, butter, vanilla essence and sugar then beat it until it looks like a paste.

This will create lost of aeration and the air bubbles trapped in will result in the fluffy texture of the cake. Mix the dry ingredients in another bowl then make a well in teh centre and add the wet ingredients little by a little while mixing it using a wire whisk just until everything is moistened.

Do not overbeat the batter because this will make the cake to sink when baking. Pour the batter in a parchment-lined baking tin then bake in 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
