Simple yoghurt cake

The beauty of this cakes is that you do not need any scales or measuring jugs. And the only washing up you will have to do is 1 bowl, 1 wooden spoon and a loaf tin: isn't it brilliant?

The basis is to use a yoghurt and then use the yoghurt pot to measure the other ingredients.

Makes 1 loaf

1 yoghurt pot, 125g (plain or flavoured - I like to use a lemon yoghurt)
3 yoghurt pots of plain flour
2 yoghurt pots of sugar (1 x caster, 1 x demarara)
1/2 yoghurt pot of vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp flavouring, matching your yoghurt if you chose a flavoured yoghurt
1 tsp brandy/cointreau/calvados (optional)

1. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl until they are well blend. Pour into a greased loaf tin.

2. Cook for 30-40 minutes in an oven pre-heated at 200C.

3. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to prevent the cake from sinking.

Enjoy warm or cold.
