Vanilla Yogurt Olive Oil Cake with Salted Honey Drizzle

Vanilla Yogurt Olive Oil Cake with Salted Honey Drizzle

This is the cake you bake when you want something elegant but have zero desire to separate eggs or pull out a stand mixer. Oolie’s Vanilla Yogurt steps in as the hero ingredient here—replacing eggs, dairy, and half the usual fuss while giving the cake its plush, tender crumb. 

It’s Mediterranean-coded, naturally dairy-free, and the salted honey drizzle makes it look like you picked it up from a little bakery that only takes cash and aesthetic compliments. One bowl, no eggs, all vibes.

Makes: 1 loaf or 8-inch cake
