Two Yogurt Cakes in Two days.

I'll say this once, Spicy Yogurt Cake is more delicious than any cake I have done so far!
Although this recipe was modified the original one can be found here.

I decided to make this recipe today because my sister gave me a bit of a hard time, because I made a cake yesterday for a small reunion on my boyfriend's family. And I remember giving
one of my cousins a harder time when she did the same... so I couldn't let that news reach my cousins, as you can understand. And if it does, they can't say anything cuz I made the same-ish cake today!!

Sunday's Yogurt Cake was a total bliss! By far the prettiest cake I have ever made. I also made a little bit of Lemon Frosting and made my yogurt cake a Layer Yogurt Cake and my FIRST Layer Cake ever.
Saddly though, I don't think there are any pictures...I have to ask but everyone liked it...

Today's cake was a mini because mini food is cute and awesome.

Mini Yogurt Cake.

1 cup of all-pupose flour.
1/2 cup of sugar.
5 tablespoons of butter, melted and cold.
1 teaspoon of baking powder.
1 cup of yogurt.
1 egg slightly beaten.
Lemon zest from one lemon.

This is how you do it.

1. Mix the dry ingredients (Lemon zest, flour, sugar and baking powder). 
 

2. In a different bowl mix together the yogurt, eggs and the melted butter. The mixture should be smooth.


3. In three different batches blend together the yogurt mixture with the dry ingredients.
The mixture should also be smooth.

4. Bake the cake around 40-50 minutes.

Ah! For this cake I also made a pear icecream that complements the cake.

For this you need:

Three pears.
1/2 cup of yogurt.
1/8 of sugar.
Four teaspoons of cream.
Vanilla.


This is how you do it:



1. Peel the pears. First chopping off the top and bottom. 
 
And peel from top to bottom.

and then peeling off the remains in the bottom.

2. Chop the pears.

3. Rinse the pears with a little of milk and vanilla.

4. While the blender works its magic. Mix the yogurt, sugar and cream.

And pour in the pear pure.



5. Freeze according to icecream maker instructions.


So, what do you think??  Yummy right.
