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
