Low Salicylate Yoghurt Cake

by | May 15, 2022

Scrolling through flawless photos of decadent French desserts, it takes every ounce of my being not to book a flight to the land of haute cuisine, placing me in but mere tasting distance of all the eclairs, crème brûlées, crepes, tarte Tatin, madeleines and macarons, this girl could ever want. Though, it’s not just fancy French desserts I’m drawn to. I’m also intrigued by the kinds of sweets people from different cultures consume day-to-day. Gâteau au yaourt, or yogurt cake as it’s translated in English, is a staple among French households, so much so, that it’s one of the first cakes French children learn how to bake. A cake that knows no bounds, it’s consumed at birthday parties, as an after-school snack, sweet breakfast or as a post-dinner treat. Fluffy, versatile, and oh so tasty, it comes as no surprise that many a French know how to make yoghurt cake by heart.
