Cherry Yogurt Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cups pitted sweet cherries
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 (6 ounce) container plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl using an electric whisk until the ingredients are well blended.
3
Melt butter in a medium-sized skillet over a moderate heat source, stirring occasionally. Cook the pitted cherries in the butter until they are tender and have absorbed most of the butter's flavor, sprinkling them with 1 tablespoon of sugar during this time. Set the cherries aside.
4
Create a central depression in the dry ingredients mixture, then pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil, eggs, and yogurt. Gently stir the mixture to form a soft dough-like consistency. Transfer the batter into a 9x12-inch baking dish. If desired, add an extra 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top for added flavor and moisture. Finally, spread the cooked cherries evenly over the batter.
5
Place the prepared cake in the preheated oven and bake until it is fully set, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. This should take approximately 40 minutes.
