Soft Apricot Nectar Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Apricot nectar
• 1/2 cup Plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
5. Mix in the apricot nectar, yogurt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, you can dust the top with powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
