French Yogurt Cake

Categories: Desserts, Featured Recipes, Recipes, Recipes From The Web
The Arbosana Extra Virgin Olive Oil would be great with this one!
This recipe is traditionally one of the first things French children learn to make. Since the size of a yogurt container is about ½ cup, you can simply wash the container and let your kids do all of the measuring with the yogurt cup. My daughter thought it was the funniest thing to make a cake using yogurt and the yogurt cup. I've also included traditional measurements if you prefer to use normal measuring scoops.
  • Prep: 15 min
  • Cook: 45 min
  • Total: 1 hour
  • Yields 1 small cake
