Fruit Yogurt Cake

I remember browsing through a cook book with a fuss free yogurt cake recipe. I made a comparison with the fruit pastry cake and the ingredient used are quite similar. The difference are yogurt cake uses more yogurt, less eggs and use melted butter. I made an attempt of the yogurt cake and top it with the fruits that I have for the pastry cake. Can't tell the difference right? :) I tried both and I think yogurt cake gave a moist cake texture compare to the pastry cake.

For this cake I half the recipe and baked @160c for 40mins in 6' round pan

Recipe from ( 5 个不失败甜点方程式,by上田悦子)
Yogurt Cake
Ingredients
200gm cake flour
1tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
150gm sugar ( can be reduced to 120)
200g original flavor yogurt
1 egg
some rasins (I omitted this and replaced with the fruits at the top)
100gm unsalted butter (melted @40-45c)

Method
1) Grease tin, lay layer of baking paper at base. Toss with flour and remove excess flour
2) mix egg & yogurt
3) add sugar, flour (sieved with BP & BS), add raisins and mix.
4) add melted butter and blend with hand whisk
5) ready to bake

* Her original recipe uses 2 nos of 14 x 23cm tin which yield very tin layer of cake. She baked at 180c & baked for 4~5mins till top turn golden brown. Covered with foil and baked for another 2mins. Cut into 8 equal slices and each slice 148kcal.

Hi Jess, as the piece of fruit pastry cake I have was actually baked in a cuppie (the balance I have made for the 2 loaf) I find it bit dry. Am not sure if it was baked too long together with the loaf. While the yogurt cake is slightly moist so I prefer the yogurt :) Perhaps you would like to try out too and see which one you prefer :)

Seems now everyone is baking cake using fruit. Very tempting to do that ;) .... Your decoration on top of the cake made the cake looks real yummy.

DG should give it a try. Simple and presentable as a gift to friends :)
