This eggless vanilla cake recipe is moist with a soft crumb. It is made without condensed milk and tastes absolutely delicious. Great on its own with tea or dressed with frosting for an elegant celebration cake. It can also be used to carve as a novelty cake or tweaked to make many different flavors and combinations.
Prepare the pans - Preheat the oven to 325°F / 165°C / Gas Mark 3. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients - In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Combine the wet ingredients - In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt and sugar until smooth. Add the oil and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
Make the batter - Add the dry ingredients to the yogurt mixture and mix gently until almost combined. Gradually add the warm milk, mixing just until you have a smooth batter with no large pockets of dry flour. Do not overmix.
Fill the pans - Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Pro tip: Once the batter is mixed, bake it immediately. The baking soda begins reacting with the yogurt as soon as the ingredients are combined.
Bake - Bake for about 25 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool - Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then carefully turn them onto a wire rack and remove the parchment paper. Cool completely before filling or frosting.
