Vanilla Loaf Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan 160°C) / Gas 4.
2. Line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, yoghurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Sift in the self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold together until combined.
5. Pour into the loaf tin and smooth the top.
6. Bake for 35–40 mins, or until golden and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
7. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

💡 Tips:

• Swap half the vanilla for almond extract for a Bakewell-style twist.

• For a lemon loaf, add the zest of 1 lemon and 2 tbsp lemon juice.

• Freezes well — slice before freezing for easy portions.
