🍰 Vegan French Yogurt Cake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt (soy, almond, or coconut)
• ½ cup maple syrup or cane sugar
• ⅓ cup neutral oil (sunflower, canola, or light olive oil)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• Optional: zest of 1 lemon or orange for flavor

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or 8-inch round cake pan and line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together:
   • Yogurt
   • Maple syrup (or sugar)
   • Oil
   • Lemon juice (or vinegar)
   • Vanilla extract
   • Citrus zest (if using)
3. In a separate bowl, whisk:
   • Flour
   • Baking powder
   • Baking soda
   • Salt
4. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Do not overmix — a few small lumps are fine.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
