How to Make Raisin Yogurt Cake

Making a delicious raisin yogurt cake is simple and rewarding. This moist, flavorful treat combines the creaminess of yogurt with the natural sweetness of raisins, perfect for any occasion. Here’s a step-by-step guide.

Ingredients:

- 1½ cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup plain yogurt (at room temperature)

- ½ tsp baking soda

- ½ cup raisins (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes, then drained)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until smooth. Add yogurt, oil, and vanilla; mix well.

4. Fold in dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

5. Add raisins: Fold in the drained raisins.

6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
