Yogurt Cake (gâteau au yaourt)

adapted from the book Bringing Up Bébé... Eva has become famous for this cake.

Ingredients

• 2 (6oz) containers of yogurt (keep containers for measuring the other ingredients)
• 2 eggs
• 2 containers sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• just under 1 container of oil (I used coconut oil)
• 4 containers flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 container mini chocolate chips or 2 containers of frozen berries (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F
2. Coat a 9″ round cake pan with cooking spray or oil.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and oil.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
5. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stir until just combined. You can now add the chocolate chips or berries if using them.
6. Scoop it all into your baking pan, it will be thick, and bake for 45 minutes or until golden and the cake springs up when touched (or when a toothpick inserted is pulled out clean). Let it cool on a rack.
7. Dust with powdered sugar (optional)
