Simple Yoghurt Cake

My mother used to make this cake as I was growing up and although its not difficult to make, its still something rather special. The simplicity comes from using the actual yoghurt carton to measure out the rest of the ingredients! I make it now whenever I want cake but of the plain and simple variety. The beauty of this cake is that you can use any yoghurt flavour, full fat or low fat and you end up with an excellent cake every time. My particular favourites are using strawberry, pear or grapefruit yoghurt. It is also very good made with lemon yoghurt with the extra addition of zest and juice of one lemon and one tablespoon of poppy seeds.
