serenissimaI made a yogurt-and-olive-oil cake. I think this was the first cake I ever baked from scratch, not counting banana bread. It may very well be the first cake I ever baked, period.

I had all the ingredients already on hand (a lot of baking recipes call for butter, which we don't normally keep in my house). The only hitch was that my pan was too small.

aristeros tells me is smaller than 9"x5", probably more like 8"x4". The batter overflowed a bit and left burnt cake blobs in the oven. Otherwise, the cake turned out very well. It's moist, kind of dense, and has an interesting tang that would go well with fruit.
