What is Yogurt Cake?

Have you ever made a cake made with yogurt? They puff up while they are baking, then they fall back down…almost like a soufflé. Yogurt makes the cake nice and creamy!

What I love about this cake is that it tastes as it came from a bakery…but it is so easy to make! Keep reading down, I made a recipe video to show you how easy this cake is to make!

You are going to love this easy yogurt cake recipe. You can easily adapt it to use your favorite fruits. I chose cranberry and orange to make this a fun holiday cake. It is perfect for entertaining!

    Gluten-free baking has come a long way. Although we do not have to worry about this in our diets, we do have friends are are gluten free. I always am on the lookout to try something new when they come over for dinner. This cake sounds delicious.
