Yogurt Cupcakes

Lightly sweetened, "gâteau au yaourt" (Yogurt Cake) is simple enough for a child to make and wholesome enough for breakfast with fruit. Instead of the traditional French cake, I opted for cupcakes, with a decidedly Italian twist: olive oil instead of butter or vegetable oil and Fiori di Sicilia instead of vanilla. Read more If you don't like the grassy flavor of extra virgin olive oil, use neutral olive oil instead. If you can't find Fiori di Sicilia, simply substitute 1/2 teaspoon of orange extract and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or a teaspoon of vanilla and the zest of an orange). For a truer "dessert" cake, increase the sugar to 2 cups or more (to your liking). See less
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups full-fat yogurt shopping list
- 2/3 cup olive oil* (I use EVOO) shopping list
- 1 1/3 cup sugar shopping list
- 3 eggs shopping list
- 1 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia extract* shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder shopping list
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
How to make it
- Heat the oven to 325°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, sugar, eggs, and Fiori di Sicilia extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients all at once to the wet ingredients and stir until no lumps remain. DO NOT OVERMIX.
- Pour the batter into the muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle of cupcakes comes out clean.
- Serve the little cakes warm or at room temperature, with fruit, powdered sugar or a dollop of something creamy. They are particularly delicious topped with macerated berries and whipped cream. If you think of it as a healthier version of pound cake, the options are endless.
