What can you make with leftover yogurt? With just 15 mins preparation time, you can make these delicious one bowl yogurt cake for an afternoon tea or coffee.
I baked these delicious yogurt cake in my newly purchase 6-holes square brownie pan. I got them when I was holidaying in Malaysia. They are perfect for making individual brownies but I also used them for rolls or buns. You can also cut down the baking time from an hour to about 20 mins.

I was able to make 24 cupcake size cakes from this recipe. Easy steps to follow so let’s get started.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius. Grease the brownie pan or a 23x35cm (10x14inch) or 25cm (10 inch) cake pan with butter. I usually just spray my baking pan with cooking spray, then layer it with a piece of baking paper (you don’t have to do this for muffin pan).
- Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and stir lightly to mix. Then beat the batter at high speed for 4 mins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread the cake evenly with a spatula. Bake the cake for 15-20 mins if using a muffin pan. For a larger size cake, bake it for about 40-60 mins. The cake is done when a thin skewer/toothpick when inserted comes out clean.
- Dust the cake with icing/confectioners’ sugar (optional) and let the cake cool in the pan.
- Cover the leftover cake in an airtight container or cling film. You can store the cake at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the fridge for 1 week.
