Pro Tips

Sieve the flour, baking soda and baking powder. This helps to remove any lumps and makes it lighter.

Make sure the yogurt is at room temperature and not sour. Use full fat or 2 % yogurt.

Its very important to use standard measurement cups and spoons to get the best results. I used standard U.S measuring cups.

Grease the pan and line it with a parchment paper for easy removal.
