  8. 1 tablespoonreal vanilla extract
  9. 6fresh egg whites, at room temperature (do not use pasteurized egg whites or they might not whip up properly)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Line three 8 inch cake pans with a circle of parchment paper or butter and flour the bottom of pans only. Do not butter and flour the sides of the pan.

  3. 3

    Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with 1 cup granulated sugar.

  4. 4

    Mix the dry ingredients in a mixer bowl on low speed for 30 seconds to distribute the leavening.

  5. 5

    With the mixer on low speed, add half the yogurt and toss in the butter a tablespoon at a time. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
    With the mixer running on low speed, add the remaining yogurt and vanilla.

  6. 6

    Increase the speed to medium and beat about 3-4 minutes until the batter lightens in texture and becomes aerated.
    Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure there are no pockets of unmixed batter.

  7. 7

    In another bowl, whip the egg whites on medium high until they form soft peaks.
    Turn the mixer to medium low and slowly add the other 1/2 cup sugar.
    Turn the mixer to medium high and whip the whites to firm peak.

  8. 8

    Fold the whites into the base in 3 parts. Fold just until there are no streaks of egg white.

  9. 9

    Divide the batter evenly between the 3 pans and spread so it's level.

  10. 10

    Bake about 25-30 minutes until the center of the cake springs back when lightly pressed or a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

  11. 11

    Cool 10 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a cooling rack.
