For cake:

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, warmed in shell in warm water 10 minutes
2 cups well-stirred plain whole-milk yogurt (not Greek-style) atroom temperature 30 minutes
For sauce:
2 cups fresh red currants (1/2 pound), stemmed
4 cups fresh raspberries (16 ounces), divided
2/3 cup granulated sugar room temperature 30 minutes

3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup heavy cream

Equipment: a 13- by 9-inch cake pan

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter cake pan, then line bottom with a rectangle of parchment paper and butter parchment. Dust with flour, knocking out excess.
  • Sift together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Beat together butter, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, at medium speed. At low speed, mix in flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with yogurt, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing until just combined. Spread batter evenly in pan and rap pan on counter several times to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then run a knife around edge. Invert onto a rack and discard parchment. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Make sauce while cake bakes:
  • Stir together currants, 2 cups raspberries, sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and let stand until juicy, about 15 minutes. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until fruit breaks down, about 8 minutes. Force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Cool sauce.
  • Make icing and Assemble cake:
  • Stir together confectioners sugar, corn syrup, cream, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Put cake on a platter and spread icing on top in a thick layer, letting it run down sides. Let icing set at least 15 minutes. Serve with sauce and remaining 2 cups raspberries on the side.

The cake was a little dry. I think I would have added more yogurt or butter to the batter.

This cake is a little too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a less sour yogurt.

I love the tanginess of the yogurt in this cake. It's a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cake.

I was skeptical about using yogurt in a cake, but I was proven wrong! The yogurt gave the cake a wonderful texture and flavor. The sauce was also delicious and easy to make.

This yogurt cake with currant-raspberry sauce was a delightful surprise! The cake itself was moist and fluffy, with a subtle tang from the yogurt. The sauce was the perfect complement, adding a burst of sweetness and tartness.
