What is a Biscocho de Yogur

Traditionally, this cake is made with olive oil and lemon zest. I didn’t use either in this particular cake. Going non traditional. Still a great cake.

So many countries make a version of this cake. It is very popular here in Spain, and I really love it.

If you have never made cakes with yogurt, you should give it a try. The texture is rich, spongy and a little heavier than cakes made with milk.

I absolutely love this particular cake. It is so easy to make and very versatile as it is a plain cake. Personally, I love it with strawberries and cream. My kids like it plain. Either way, it is a really good cake.

With Easter just a few days away, it is a very easy dessert to keep in mind. Because it just uses basic ingredients, it is something you could easily whip up without any planning in advance.

This cake makes a great snacking cake or you can dress it up with cream and berries (as pictured here) for more of a dessert.

If you go down the lemon route for this cake a basic glaze would work really well instead of the strawberries and cream.  You just mix together about 1 cup/125 grams of icing sugar with 3-4 tablespoons of milk (more if needed) and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.  Done and ready to pour over cake.
