Natural Yogurt Cake

With all cake recipes available on countless baking websites it is hard to select the best ones. The best way to get a recipe is from someone who has baked a cake you have actually tasted and pigged. In this particular recipe it was Ms. Cassia from whom I´ve learned the recipe. A simple moist cake that uses natural yogurt instead of ordinary milk.

Ingredients

1 cup (170g) natural yogurt

4 eggs

2 cups flour

2 cups refined white sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 tbs baking powder

Note: Use yogurt cup which is 170g to measure the ingredients

Procedure

Mix all the above ingredients using a blender for 5 mins

Pour the batter in a baking pan (basic baking procedure: spread and sprinkled with butter and flour respectively all over). My cake got a brown color as I sprinkled chocolate powder instead flour in the pan.

Place in a pre-heated oven for 45 mins in 180-210 degrees.

Now I have this cake recipe I can count on and a blog to keep recipes I can´t lose.

Paltrow´s Pancake

Today I served my hubby and mom-inlaw Paltrow´s Pancake (recipe here) which was learned from Gywneth Paltrow´s blog. Unsual breakfast for them as the most common you´ll see on brazilian´s breakfast table are cheese bread or french bread, cake, ham and cheese and dark coffee. I made two types of pancake using different flour. One is unbleached flour as the recipe needed and wheat flour for a healthier eating. Best thing about this recipe is that you can prepare it a night before then just cook it the next day. So this caters to all working moms out there who have no much time to prepare breakfast for the family.
