You have to use the yaourt pot, once empty, like a measure. A french yaourt pot is equivalent to a cup (see the picture) !
Ingredients :1 pot of plain yogurt
2 pots of sugar
3 pots of flour
1/3 pot of canola oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of amber rum (if you like)
Preheat the oven to 350 ° F. Buttered or grease a 10 inch round cake pan or a loaf pan or a pbread pan.
The preparation is very easy. You just have to put the ingredients one by one. As for me, I start with yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, salt, baking soda and baking powder and I just mix everything untill it is smooth.
Pour the batter in a butterecake pan and bake for 30 minutes. Insert a knife in the middle of the cake, if the knife is clean, it’s ready. If not, just put 10 minutes more. Transfer to a rack to cool. Sprinkle with confectionner’s sugar.

A lemon yogurt cake : just add rated zest (yellow peel) in the mixture and a little bit of lemon juice.
A nut yogurt cake : instead of putting two pots of flour, put one of almond or of hazelnut or any nuts that you like.

What about doing your own yogurt at home ?
Just take 4 cups of whole milk and heat at 113 ° F. Add one yoghourt or one teaspoon of yogurt starter (I use « yogourmet »* ) in a little bit of heated milk. Stir well, mix with all the milk, stir well again. And just put the milk in a thermos for one night or in a yogurt machine for 9 hours.
* Yogourmet can be found in « Wholefood market» or « Mother’s market
