Ingredients:

• For the Cake:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup plain curd (yogurt)
• 1/2 cup milk
• For the Curd Topping:
• 1 cup plain curd (yogurt)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

1. Prepare the Cake Batter:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the curd and milk. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

1. Bake the Cake:

• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

1. Prepare the Curd Topping:

• While the cake is baking, mix together the curd, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and well combined.

1. Cool the Cake:

• Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

1. Top the Cake:

• Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the curd topping evenly over the top of the cake.

1. Chill and Serve:

• Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the topping to set.

1. Enjoy:

• Slice and serve chilled for a deliciously creamy treat.
