Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 Eggs, Large
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • ½ cup Natural Yogurt
  • ½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour Sifted
  • ⅓ tsp Baking Powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (175C)
  • Prepare a narrow and tall mold, either round or rectangular (coat with a little oil and sprinkle with flour). A loaf pan works great.
  • Whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt in a large bowl for approximately 30 seconds until well mixed and airy.
  • Add the extra virgin olive oil and yogurt, and continue beating.
  • Incorporate the baking powder and flour a little at a time. Each time mix until it is all integrated.
  • Once all the ingredients are well beaten, pour the cake batter in the mold and bake for 40-45 min (do not open the oven for the first 30 min).
  • It is done when it is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cake rest inside with the door open for 15 min. Remove from the oven and let it rest for another 20-30 min before removing from the cake pan.
