7 Cups Cake

The 7 Cups Cake is a classic of Italian home pastry, known for using a “cup” of yogurt as a measuring cup for the other ingredients. The recipe is simple and is open to many variations. Here’s how you can prepare it:

Ingredients

• 1 cup of natural yogurt (to be used as a measuring cup)
• 3 cups of flour
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup of seed oil
• 3 eggs
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt

Preparation

1. Take the yogurt cup and use it as a measuring cup for the other ingredients.
2. In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until you obtain a light and frothy mixture.
3. Add the yogurt and continue to mix.
4. Gradually incorporate the seed oil, continuing to mix.
5. Combine the sifted flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt, being careful to mix well to avoid the formation of lumps.
6. Pour the batter into a buttered and floured cake pan.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (356 °F) for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
8. Let it cool before unmolding and serving.

This cake is very versatile: you can flavor it with lemon zest, vanilla, or add chocolate chips, nuts, or pieces of fresh fruit to the batter to personalize it to your taste.
