Yogurt Bundt Cake


This cake was so simple to make and it came together very quickly. If a cake batter could ever be described as pretty, this one was. Very smooth and almost glossy ~ more so than other cake batters. The yogurt makes the cake bake up like a pudding cake ~ very moist. The top comes out with just a hint of crunch. I think it would be good to bake it with a crumb topping. Maybe I'll try that out in the future. I also think cinnamon would be a good addition. There is no need for any icing or even powdered sugar on this one. It stands alone on it's own just fine.

I did substitute white sugar for the brown sugar because I wanted it to be a light cake. And it was. Also, I didn't bake as long as recommended. In my oven it was ready at 37 minutes. And I know I had the temperature right because I had my oven thermometer inside the oven keeping track. :-)

This recipe is a keeper.

"Tuesdays With Dorie"

I just wanted to post that I am soooo happy to be participating in Tuesdays With Dorie. This is something I have wanted to do for a long time, but membership was never open when I would check. But recently, membership was opened up and I emailed in to participate. Shortly after that, open membership was instated for the summer. I do not think that my blog link has made it into the sidebar at TWD yet, but nevertheless I'm in! Yahooo!

Right now, I am awaiting delivery of my cookbook from Amazon. Just as soon as it arrives, I'll starting baking and posting with the TWD bloggers.
