Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your baking dish lightly to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add in the oil and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Fold in yoghurt and the Cottees Vanilla pudding mix into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until no dry flour is visible.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine soft brown sugar, two tablespoons of flour, a dash of vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon for the topping until it has a crumbly texture.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for a bit before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
