hey riders!

i recently just got back from my doctor's appointment and i'm having quite a few health issues, i am getting old HAHA! not going into details but i was craving for cheesecake the other day, unfortunately cheesecake is one of the food that i have to avoid for my diet, then i saw the yogurt right next to cream cheese boxes, so i decided why not use the yogurt to make something? and i did! 😉

before making this cake, i want you to know that this cake is not your typical sugary cake, it contains half a cup of powdered sugar, you can absolutely add regular white sugar if you like, and or add sweetener such as stevia

i also squeezed an orange fruit but using an orange juice from a box will work just fine 🙂

ingredients:

• 3 tbsp warm water
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• pinch of salt
• extra flour for dusting

directions:

1. pre heat the oven to 350f
2. into a mixing bowl, add all wet ingredients then mix well
3. then add all dry ingredients and combine. set aside
4. sprinkle the prepared baking pan with a little bit of flour then add the batter into the pan
5. bake to pre heated oven for 35 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean
6. enjoy!

COFFEE CRUMBLED CAKE - i was craving for something that will remind me of home today, so i decided to make this cake, it was surprisingly really good. it tastes a little like chiffon cake but in a dryer side, i didn't use egg whites or vegetable oil for this cake, so it was interesting how it tastes like a chiffon cake. please don't get disappointed about the "dryer" side of the cake because the topping is super delicious, too! now, if you are not a fan of a dry cake, then this is not for you. but i gotta say, the toppings compliments the cake. it's a great combination. i enjoyed pairing the cake with coffee, tea or even ice cream. it's super delicious!

i recommend using a bigger cake mold for this recipe, i honestly thought it will fit in my baking cake pan but as you can see, it overflowed, but that didn't took away the deliciousness of this cake. :)

ingredients:

for the cake:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups flour
• 1 egg
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup) softened
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt

for the topping:

• 1 cup (packed) brown sugar
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp instant coffee
• 1 stick softened butter (1/2 cup)

directions:

1. pre heat the oven to 350F
2. spray the baking cake pan with a vegetable oil to prevent the cake from sticking
3. into the mixing bowl, add the butter, sugar and combine
4. then add the egg and mix using a hand mixer. you can also use a whisker too, it's your preference
5. then add the milk and combine
6. add the flour and mix. about a minute
7. add the baking powder, vanilla extract and salt. mix all together about a minute. the batter should be thicker
8. pour the cake batter into the prepared pan then flatten the top to even out. set aside
9. for the topping, combine the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, instant coffee and butter into a mixing bowl
10. mix together until crumbly, but not over mixed
11. place the topping mixture on top of the cake batter
12. bake to 40 to 50 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean
13. enjoy!

happy baking!
