On a yoghurt cake base ultra simple to make and light.

Ingredients:
1 pot of yoghurt,
2 pots of sugar,
3 pots of flour,
3 eggs,
1/2 sachet of yeast without phosphates,
1 packet of vanilla sugar,
1 jar of oil 1 pinch of salt
A few spoonfuls of persimmon marmalade
1 persimmon

Preparation:
Pour the contents of the yoghurt pot into a bowl.
Use the empty pot as a measuring stick. Add the two pots of sugar, the vanilla sugar and the pinch of salt.
Mix well.
Add the eggs and mix to a smooth dough.
Add the flour and yeast and continue mixing. Finally add the jar of oil.
Be careful, it's a bit tricky to add the oil to the previous mixture. Line a cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees.
When the cake is done, let it cool down a bit and remove it from the tin.
When completely cooled, cut the cake in half crosswise and spread persimmon marmalade on the underside.
Place the top of the cake on top of the marmalade and decorate with fresh persimmon slices just before serving.
