Ingredients (8-inch pan)
\n2 cups cake flour (or all-purpose flour, sifted)
\n1 cup sugar
\n1\u00bd tsp baking powder
\n\u00bc tsp baking soda
\n\u00bc tsp salt
\n3 large eggs, room temperature
\n\u00be cup milk (or buttermilk for extra softness)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
see continuation on next page<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup vegetable oil (key for moisture)
\n1 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
\n1 tbsp vanilla extract
\nStep-by-Step Instructions
\nStep 1: Prepare
\nPreheat oven to 170\u00b0C \/ 340\u00b0F.
\nGrease and line an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
\nStep 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
\nIn a bowl, whisk:<\/p>\n
Flour
\nBaking powder
\nBaking soda
\nSalt
\nSet aside.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
\nIn another bowl:<\/p>\n
Beat eggs and sugar until light and pale.
\nAdd oil and mix well.
\nAdd yogurt and vanilla.
\nMix until smooth and creamy.
\nStep 4: Combine (Gentle!)
\nAdd dry ingredients to wet in 2\u20133 batches.
\nFold gently with a spatula.
\nDo not overmix \u2014 stop as soon as smooth.
\nLumps are okay. Overmixing kills softness.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Bake
\nPour batter into pan.
\nTap pan gently to remove air bubbles.
\nBake 35\u201340 minutes.
\nToothpick should come out clean or with soft crumbs.
\nStep 6: Cool Properly
\nLet cake cool 10 minutes in pan.
\nRemove and cool completely on a rack.
\nSecrets to Extreme Softness
\nOil instead of butter = long-lasting moisture
\nYogurt = tender crumb
\nLow baking temperature = even softness
\nRoom-temperature ingredients Optional Softness Boost (Highly Recommended)
\nBrush warm cake with:<\/p>\n
\u00bc cup warm milk + 1 tsp sugar + a few drops vanilla
\nThis makes it bakery-level soft.<\/p>\n
Variations
\nChocolate: replace \u00bc cup flour with cocoa powder
\nLemon: add zest + 2 tbsp lemon juice
\nOrange: replace milk with fresh orange juice
\nResult
\nA cake so soft it springs back when touched \u2014 perfect plain, frosted, or layered.<\/p>\n
