Low-Fat Orange Yogurt Cake

There was the left over and near to expiry date half tube of yogurt sitting still in the fridge. Not wanting to bring it into waste bin, i had to find a way to 'finish' it up.

I came across this Low Fat Orange Yogurt Cake from Happy Home Baking.

With the precious wand and spell from Harry Potter again, I managed to turn the ingredients into fragrant orange yogurt cake. Unlike the moist and dense pound cake we used to have, the Orange Yogurt Cake turned out to be super soft, fluffy and light.




Oppppssssss.... Cracccccckkkkkkk =.=
