Have you ever had yogurt cake before? I have not had one before until today. Wow!! It is delicious and addictive. The structure is moist and have this creamy feeling. So, why did I came to make strawberry yogurt cake? After realising that I have a really stuffed chiller, I decided to do some clean up and that's when I stumble upon my 1 kg of strawberry 99% fat free yogurt which will expire tomorrow. So, i began to so some searching online for the recipes and I found yogurt cake. It is not a very simple journey actually. Ivery recipe seems to have their on measurement and ingredient. So, I decided to do some mix and match and work out the ratio. Guess what? It works.

Here's the recipe.

  4. Add in vanilla extract and eggs. One at a time. Beat for another minute or so. 
  5. Add in yogurt and beat for another minute. Remove the electric mixer.
  6. Then, stir in the mixture of sifted self raising flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt. Half cup at a time. Stir until the flour mixture until is well incorporated before you add in another batch.
