Description

This Greek yogurt pound cake is rich, moist, and has a perfectly tender crumb with a hint of tangy sweetness. It’s great for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon treat—best served with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat for best texture)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  • Stir in Greek yogurt, alternating with milk, until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lemon twist, add zest of 1 lemon and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
  • Serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
