Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1 cup Thick Yogurt
1 cup Sugar
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 1/4 tsp Baking powder
1/2 cup Oil
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
Process:
1. Preheat the oven to 180 deg C for 10 mins.
Grease a 9'' round tin and dust it with flour.
2. Sieve AP flour and keep aside. Cream the powdered sugar and yogurt until sugar
completely dissolves.
3. Add baking
powder, baking soda to the creamed mixture and mix well. Leave aside for 5 mins
and till bubbles appear in the mixture and it increases in volume
4. Now add in
vanilla essence and oil and whisk. Slowly add the AP flour little at a time and blend with wet ingredients. Beat well till creamy and thick. It will take about 2-3 minutes.
5. Pour the batter prepared tin and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees. Then reduce the temperature to 160 deg C and bake it for another 35-40 mins.

6. The cake is done if a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool down for 10 mins, then invert it into a serving plate. When the cake has completely cooled down, slice them into pieces. Enjoy!
Notes:
- The Slices are firm and neat if the cake it cut after cooling for 4-5 hours.
- You can replace the oil with equal quantity of butter.
- In the recipe it is baked at 200 C at first and then at 180 C. But, I found my cakes turns brown and hard at that temperature. So, I lowered the temperature to 180 C and 160 C and baked it 5 minutes longer. So, adjust the temperature as per your oven.
