\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whenever I catch a cold, I try to do something that doesn’t come naturally to me: rest. This involves watching episode after episode of Project Runway All Stars Season 2 (I also recently finished watching the Great British Sewing Bee<\/a> – so<\/em> charming!) and cutting out sewing patterns.\u00a0I also try to drink lots of fluids, and eat more vegetables.\u00a0<\/span>And I hear citrus and vitamin C can do wonders, so I baked a lemon yogurt cake. I’m sure that counts as vitamin C, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I turned to Ina for the recipe<\/a>, and she hit it on the mark as usual. The recipe calls for two glazes: one to soak into the cake while it’s still fresh from the oven and another to embellish and add sweetness to it, I suppose, but I prefer my cakes to be less sugary, so one glaze was perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The crumb is similar to the<\/span> olive oil cake<\/a> I baked a few weeks ago, since this cake is made with oil as well (I used canola), but the yogurt makes it a touch heavier, though it’s still a very light cake. And like the olive oil cake, this is a super easy cake to whip up. Quick and simple recipes are the only way to go. <\/span><\/p>\n

The tangy undertones of the yogurt and lemon work very nicely together in this cake. I like to use greek yogurt, which is thicker and creamier. I used whole milk yogurt, but because of the consistency, I think I could have gotten away with non-fat to make it healthier.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After two slices, I’m already feeling significantly better. Cold begone!<\/span><\/p>\n
