• 3 eggs
• 120 g sugar
• 120 g vegetable oil
• 1 sachet of baking powder
• 1 sachet vanilla powder (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)
• Nutella (to your taste)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and oil until light and fluffy. Stir in the yogurt until well combined.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and vanilla powder. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until smooth.
3. Layer the cake: Butter and flour a plum cake pan. Pour a little more than half of the batter into the prepared pan.
4. First cooking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 20 minutes.

6. End of cooking: Pour the remaining batter over the Nutella layer and return the cake to the oven. Bake for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
