~MOROCCAN MOIST CAKE~

[HOUDA-K]

Ingredients:

5 eggs

1 6 oz. container of vanilla yogurt

1 1/2 yogurt container of sugar

1 yogurt container of oil

2 1/2 tsp. of baking powder

4 yogurt containers of flour




Instructions:

There are no measuring cups used in this recipe. You will always use

your empty yogurt container for the measures.

Put your yogurt into your bowl, then wash and dry it. Next add your

flour and sugar. Next comes your oil, baking powder, and eggs.

Bake at 350° until a knife comes clean from the center.

Use lemon peel groung up or orange peel ground up for a little tangy

flavor or you can just leave it plain. It is good either way.

You can also add melted chocolate to the top as an icing. But let the

cake cool before doing so.

(NOTE: I use Alsa brand baking powder, it is already packaged in 2 1/2

tsp packets. Look in the international aisle of your grocery store or

just measure it out from your can.)

Houda - i tried the date cake! - hmmmmm it was lovely - everyone who ate it, agreed! but i think i put a bit too much flour in the mixture - but it was nice. I think i bake cakes better than i actually cook meals! LOL. Thanks for the reciepe.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh al~humduillah first try and it was a success. Masha Allah, I am impressed, with me it takes a lot of trial and errors ~ LOL

As for adding to much flour, hey you now know for next time habiba ! Question : Did you serve with fresh whipped cream ?

As for baking better than cooking, I’m the opposite. I don’t have the patiences for intricate details especially when I’m hungry ~




P.S Happy baking !
