TikTok French Yogurt Cake

This quick French yogurt cake is going viral on TikTok because it is super easy to make and it is delicious!

"Le gâteau au yaourt" or yogurt cake is a perfect recipe to make with kids because they can easily help measure ingredients with the yogurt cup, it's about ratios and not set measurements.

Why you will love this yogurt cake

This easy cake uses just a few ingredients. The yogurt can be any kind; greek, flavored, plain.

If you decide to use French yogurt, the one brand that is going viral on TikTok is "la fermière". It comes in a really cute glass container that you can reuse.

The cake has a nice dense texture and delicious tangy flavor and it is a perfect after school snack, dessert or breakfast on-the-go.

• This cake is easy to make. Kids can do the whole thing easily. Just help them with the oven/baking.
• This cake is a one-bowl-cake! You only need one cup for measurements and one bowl for mixing.
• No mixer required. You don't need to cream any ingredients (this cake does not use butter!) so the ingredients mix-in really easily.

Ingredients and substitutions

This yogurt recipe uses fresh, every-day ingredients that are easy to find in any store.

• French yogurt: I'm using the la fermière orange blossom honey yogurt but feel free to use vanilla, greek or plain yogurt. Use full fat yogurt.
• Sugar: granulated sugar gives the cake a nice spongy texture. I have not tried any other substitutions.
• Flour: All purpose flour is the original recipe.
• Oil: This helps bind the ingredients together and gives the cake the dense texture it has.
• Eggs: This is the base of the wet ingredients along with our oil.
• Vanilla extract: Adds depth of flavor and compliments the yogurt tanginess. Don't skip the vanilla extract even if you are using flavored yogurt.
• Orange zest: This helps give the cake a little texture and aroma and goes really nice with any flavor of yogurt. You can also use lemon zest.
