EXECUTION
In a bowl mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a bigger bowl stir together the sunflower oil, sugar, water, vanilla extract, authentic DODONI Greek yoghurt and grated carrots.
Add the flour mixture into the liquids and mix gently using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon, just until they’re incorporated.
Pour the final mixture in a greased baking pan (diameter: 22cm), lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about an hour. Let it cool down for 15 minutes and remove from pan. Let it come to room temperature for at least 3 hours.
Prepare the buttercream. In a bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter for 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Add the icing sugar and beat for another minute. Add the authentic DODONI Greek yoghurt and beat until it is fully incorporated into the mixture. You can either use it immediately by spreading it over the cake’s surface or serving it in spoonfuls on top of each slice or you can cover the bowl with cling film and keep in the fridge until use.
