Gateau au Yaourt (French Yogurt Cake)

LBA and SoBA enjoy yogurt almost every morning.  They, like their father, also appreciate the sweeter things - so perhaps this cake might make an appearance.  Mrs. BA is the baker at the launchpad, so she would have to be on it. From Food52 via BuzzFeed.

Gateau au Yaourt
Makes one 10-inch cake

Ingredients

• 250 milliliters (1 cup) whole milk plain yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 160 grams (3/4 cup plus 1 scant tablespoon) sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 80 milliliters vegetable oil (slightly less than 4oz.)
• 250 grams (2 cups) all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt 

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350° F and line a round 10-inch cake pan with parchment paper. 
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and oil.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Fold the flour mixture into the yogurt mixture, mixing only until all traces of flour disappear. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden and a tester comes out clean.
6. Let stand for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
