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.
