Tuesdays With Dorie…French Yogurt Cake
Can you believe it’s Tuesday again already??
This week, Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction chose the French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze on pages 224-225 for us to try. It was easy! I was shocked. Anything with the word French in it frightens me a bit. The French, you know, those women spend like, a month’s salary on a pair of stilletto boots, and then proceed to walk around in them on cobblestone…. While talking on their cells, simultaneously smoking a cigarette, window shopping for lingerie and avoiding dog accidents. It’s amazing. And yet, this French cake was simple. Hmmm. Maybe these same women spent all of their formative years learning to walk in high heels and left the baking to Pierre Herme. That must be it.
Dorie mentioned that this cake is often the recipe used by the French for making Birthday cakes, so in that vein, I made mine 2 ways. First, I made a layer cake by using small 4 inch rounds. The other method was to use that stupid Fluted Tube Pan from The Pampered Chef that I have yet to be successful with. Why do I keep using it? I should have kept the freaking instructions. I must be doing something wrong as I haven’t once had a cake actually flute all the way around. Whatever. It tasted really good.
