Birthday Yoghurt Cake

September 9, 2009 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

I made this for Dot’s birthday,  using Dorie Greenspan’s wonderful yoghurt cake recipe.

Instead of a loaf tin, the cake was baked in an 8″/20cm round cake tin at 160C (with fan) for 40 minutes.  Once cool, it was split in half and sandwiched with a generous serve of Pete’s strawberry jam and some  fresh cream, whipped with a little vanilla syrup.

This is such an easy, versatile recipe to have up your sleeve, particularly when you need a cake in a hurry!

    Yoghurt cakes are my best – since I got a recipe from the landlady of an apartment we rented in Rome. I rarely make any other kind of cakes these days…instead I try to modify and vary the basic recipe by having the base and edges coated with flaked almonds or shredded coconut. Once I made it as you have now the day before I needed it and refigerated it – disaster. The cake turned out great but refigerating it with my cream-fraiche and low fat homemade lemon curd filling wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done. But I also did that a second time…it tooke me a while to realise the fridge was the issue. Anyhow, well done

      Thanks. :) As I was telling Jo recently, whilst they’re not my all-time favourite cake (the household fave is the chocolate slab cake), they are just so easy and delicious that I end up making them all the time. I had a similar disaster once – I topped the cake with unsweetened whipped cream and it ended up weird and hard in the fridge – like there was a layer of butter over it. These days I always add sugar or vanilla syrup to the cream first.
