Italian Cake

To prepare a delicious and fluffy cake, we start by preparing the necessary ingredients. It is essential to ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature so that they integrate perfectly. We will need 4 eggs, 200 g of sugar, 100 g of soft butter, 2 egg yolks, 150 g of yogurt, 100 ml of milk, 250 g of flour, 10 g of baking powder, 100 ml of oil, and a vanilla or lemon essence, according to preference.

We start by mixing the eggs with the sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer. It is important to beat the mixture well until it triples in volume and becomes frothy and light in color. This step is essential for obtaining a fluffy cake. After achieving the desired consistency, we add the soft butter cut into small pieces. We continue mixing at medium speed until the butter is completely integrated into the mixture.

The next step is to add the egg yolks one by one, ensuring that each yolk is well incorporated before adding the next. After finishing with the yolks, we will add the yogurt and milk. We mix well to obtain a homogeneous composition. In another bowl, we sift the flour together with the baking powder, then gradually add it to the egg mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Once the flour is fully incorporated, we add the oil and the chosen essence. We mix again carefully until the dough becomes uniform and smooth. It will have a slightly denser but very creamy consistency. We prepare a loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with oil and dusting it with flour. We carefully pour the dough into the pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Now, we preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the pan with the dough inside. We bake the cake for 40-45 minutes, or until it becomes golden and passes the toothpick test. It is important not to open the oven door in the first 30 minutes, as this may affect its rise. After the cake is baked, we let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

This cake is perfectly moist and fluffy, ideal to be enjoyed alongside a cup of tea or coffee. We can also experiment with add-ins, such as cocoa or candied fruits, which will give it a special flavor. This recipe has been successfully tested and is guaranteed to impress anyone who tastes it!
