Comments & Reviews

Are all the quantities correct? The mixture has turned out like biscuit dough, so I was wondering whether there is supposed to be a much larger amount of yoghurt to make it a little more like actual cake batter.
So far I have a very sad looking giant biscuit thing in my tin, going to ice it anyway though.

Hi Monique,

Thanks for getting in touch. This recipe creates a cake bar that is a bit heavier than a traditional butter cake, and wont rise as much either. It should be risen, crumbly and just delicious smothered with plenty of icing.
