Speedy yoghurt cake

5 oz c sugar
1 oz butter melted
2 eggs beaten

Mix everything in a bowl and pour into a lined 2lb loaf tin.Bake 350f for 45 mins approx

I have used toffee,strawberry,raspberry and cherry yoghurts for this and they are all nice,it's a good way to use up extras.

All caught up again! Site seems to be behaving itself too! We had Secret Santa today at work, someone had done their homework as I got a HUGE cookbook - Modern Classics from Womans Weekly. I'm very excited!!:T

Already had a few sneaky flips through, well it's rude not to! Guess what I'll be cooking from at the weekend??

The yoghurt cake sounds ace - I may try that one over the Christmas holiday.

I lurk on this thread a lot and have had loads of inspiration, to the point of making my own bread.

Thanks all. :beer:

hello..

hope this eve goes ok Dee

Well the onion marmalade is made If you boil it for longer - I kept it lightly simmering - then the liquid does thicken but it is still slightly runny. We had some with our baked ham for tea - t'was yum!

Just made more choc cake with frosty chocolate toffee-like topping - the cupcakes I made yesterday with ds went down very well and I had requests to make more this evening

I'm not sure about the yoghurt cake.I like the idea but not sure whether my lot will eat it.Going to make Carrot cake and some more of Tinks' Biscuits tomorrow.The MW meringues went down really well and the fact that there is none left sort of gives me a clue that they were good lol.

Yategirl how did you make the topping for your chocolate cake?I always end up either icing or buttercreaming mine so new suggestions would be most welcome

Cheerfulness4 I usually top my carrot cake with cream cheese mixed with a little icing sugar and crushed pineapple.We dont like walnuts so we tried substituting the pineapple and its totally yummy
