Recipe Notes

Here are just a few ideas for a fun twist on this simple cake:

Sweet variations: fresh or frozen berries, sliced apples with cinnamon, chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, sprinkles, or chopped nuts. To make an almond yogurt cake, substitute 1 cup of almond meal for 1 cup of flour.

I threw a couple handfuls of fresh strawberries in for the particular cake shown here. Frozen would also work well but I’d chunk them up in a blender first. Blackberries or blueberries can go in whole.

Savory variations: use plain yogurt to make a delicious savory loaf or mini muffins. Make bite-size muffins with bacon and blue cheese, or try a rich dinner loaf with gruyere.
