Easy and Delicious Yogurt Cake

Loved this cake for teatime! Served With a dollop of yoghurt on top and alternately with chunks of pineapple and pineapple juice, or with raspberries. Delicious! This is an easy yogurt cake that uses the yogurt container to measure all of the ingredients. It’s ready in under an hour and the perfect not too sweet snack or breakfast treat. It’s known in France as Gâteau au Yaourt and is typically the first cake that French children learn how to make. My niece attends a French school and has made this with his classmates.
