How to make a box cake without eggs or yogurt?

Running low on ingredients? No problem! You can substitute applesauce or mashed banana for eggs in a box cake mix. Use about 1/4 cup of either for each egg. For a flaxseed "egg," mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. Replace the egg with this mixture. You'll probably need to adjust the amount of liquid slightly. Keep in mind that these substitutions may slightly alter the texture and taste.

How to make Yogurt Cake?

Can I add yogurt to cake mix?

Absolutely! Adding yogurt to a cake mix can make it extra moist and give it a subtle tangy flavor. I recommend adding about 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to your favorite cake mix. Be sure to reduce the amount of other liquids (like water or milk) by about 1/4 cup to maintain the right consistency. Gently fold the yogurt into the batter until just combined. Don't overmix!

Yogurt Cake: 5-Ingredient Delicious & Easy!

Description

Easy Yogurt Cake recipe! This simple cake is moist, tangy, and perfect for any occasion. Enjoy it plain or dress it up with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup Granulated Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Plain Yogurt
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
3 Large Eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon Lemon Zest (Optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure your oven is fully heated before you start baking.

2. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. This prevents the cake from sticking. You can also use baking spray.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps!

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the lemon zest, if using.

5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few streaks of flour.

6. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which can make the cake tough. A smooth batter will give you a tender crumb.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Spread it evenly.

8. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Keep an eye on it! Baking times can vary depending on your oven.

10. The cake is done when it’s golden brown and springs back lightly when touched.

11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. This helps it set and prevents it from breaking when you remove it.

12. Run a knife around the edges of the pan. This loosens the cake.

13. Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

14. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

15. Dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh berries, or add a simple glaze. This cake is delicious on its own, but a little extra never hurts!

16. Enjoy!

Notes

Can be adapted with lemon poppy seed, chocolate, or spices. Use room-temperature ingredients. Don’t overmix.
