Lemon Yogurt Cake

I wonder how a 11 month old baby can finish a tub of 750gm of plain full-fat yogurt herself before expiration date.   One day past expiry, there was still 1/2 tub left.  I know it’s probably okay for an adult with better immune system to finish up the yogurt. But I prefer to cook dairy which has just past its expiry.  This yogurt cake sounds yummy, although I rarely make lemony dessert because lemons are simply too sour for my tastebuds.   As it turns out, the cake is refreshing with a moist texture.  It’s perfect for summer, and luckily the sugar is enough to balance the sour lemon juice.  I reduced the sugar and cut out the glaze, as well followed other reviewers to poke holes to let the lemon syrup run through the whole cake, making it extremely moist.   The sweetness is perfect !    Next will try out a chocolate yogurt muffin recipe, because my baby has started another tub of plain yogurt (AGAIN!)     Let the yogurt baking continues..

GRANNY GIRLS: The Very Best Banana Bread

This is my latest favorite banana bread.  It requires less oil and healthier sugar than a lot of other typical banana bread.  I think it uses less sugar because it’s loaded with 5 bananas each loaf !!  Most importantly, I can still bake when I have NO EGGS in my house.

It’s moist inside and crunchy on top after baking.  It’s one recipe I don’t alter any ingredient except using 1/2 flour as whole wheat and choosing pecans as my nut add-on.
