Yoghurt can also be easily made at home.

Depending on the quantity of yoghurt we need we will boil the milk (for 200 ml yoghurt we require 200ml boiled milk).After the milk has been boiled. Cool it .when the milk is mildly warm then add yoghurt to it.Add around 1-2 teaspoon of  yoghurt to the lukewarm milk and stir into the milk and  let it set at room temperature for about 8-10 hours or overnight (do not keep it in the fridge during the process of setting)

Preparation time-15 minutes
Cooking time-55 minutes
Serves -10

Ingredients for the Donut Cake:
1 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 cup butter; salted
4 eggs at room temperature
2 ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all- purpose Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup Buttermilk

Ingredients for the Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tablespoon Heavy whipping cream

Method
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F .Using a beater or hand mixer, beat the sugar and butter together on medium to high speed until well combined and fluffy for about 3-4 minutes. Stop in between at regular intervals to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Now add in the eggs one at a time. Stirring with a spoon after each egg. Add in the vanilla extract and beat well until well combined.

In another medium size bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg. Gradually add around ½ cup of the dry flour mixture into the butter mixture alternating it with about ¼ cup of buttermilk. Beat on low speed until all ingredients are well combined.

Grease the Bundt pan with butter liberally and pour the cake batter into it.Tap the pan on the counter 3-4 times to remove the air bubbles from it.Bake the cake for about 50 -55 minutes .To check if the cake is properly cooked insert a knife or toothpick in the centre of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is fully baked. Allow the cake to cool in the rack for about 20 minutes. Invert the cake on a plate.

Cut foil pieces or butter paper and in line and place them under the cake in such a way that it is only touching the cake from the edges. This is done so that the excessive dripping of the glaze is on the paper or foil and not on the plate.

Now Whisk together the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together. In case the frosting is too watery, add more powdered sugar to it.Drizzle the glaze over the cake and allow it to set for about 30 minutes. Remove the foil from under the cake and enjoy this delicious cake!!!
