Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and plain yogurt until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the cake out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before frosting or serving.
