Yogurt Centered Butter Cake



This is a creation by my baking partner , G. Instead of the usual butter cake, she has decided to be a little innovative or adventurous ~ That is by adding an unconventional yogurt filling to the butter cake. The result? Outstanding!!  It's so delightful and refreshing. Thanks G!!


Just cut the cake in the middle horizontally and pour in the flavored yogurt.. It's that simple !! Try it and let me know if you like it as much as we did. This recipe is definitely a keeper for me.

Recipe can be doubled

Ingredients:
Butter Cake
3 large eggs - saparate yolks from white
175 grams granulated sugar (can less if you like it less sweet)
1/2 tablespoon boiling water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
70 grams butter - at room temperature
1 cups all purpose flour - sieved 
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
