    Electric Skillet Yogurt Cake

    Jump to Recipe

    A labor-saving twist on a dessert made famous by French grandmas, this particular electric skillet cake compromises none of the moist, light flavor of an original yogurt cake while sparing the chef the inconvenience of firing up the oven for one small sweet treat.

    The ingredients were originally measured in the charming glass jars in which French yogurt was traditionally sold. Fortunately, these measurements are easily converted to the more conventional ones of the following recipe.

    Serving

    This cake goes well with coffee or any of coffee’s fancier Italian cousins, cappuccino, macchiato, café latte and so on. It is delicious topped with crème fraiche or fresh fruit but can also be eaten plain. It has a more complex flavor the day after baking but can be eaten when warm or cooled.

    Storage

    If wrapped well, it can last up to three days without refrigeration. It also freezes well and can last as long as two months.

    Tips

    For best results, the yogurt and the eggs should be at room temperature. Ingredients blended at room temperature trap air that expands during baking, creating lighter, more evenly baked goods.

    If you don’t have a wire rack that fits in the skillet, you can ball up aluminum foil into roughly large pea or small grape-sized beads and place them under your baking pan, about 8 should be enough. You can also use metal skewers in a pinch, just be careful not to scratch your skillet. Keeping the baking pan raised above the skillet allows for the even distribution of heat and prevents burning.
