Chia.. this recipe is wonderful! I lost my bundt pan somehow :-( and didnt realize it until after I'd tagged this recipe. So instead I made it in a loaf pan. I halved the recipe (which now I wish I hadnt!!!) and its just wonderful. It has a delicious flavor.. unfortunately it doesnt have a cake-like texture on the outside, that I know it would have had .. had I made it in the right pan.. But it is just wonderful. I plan on making it again in the near future with the correct pan. Thanks so much Chia!!!

chia--this was very good! I used vanilla yogurt, an 8 oz container--I hope that's the right size, lol. It is very delicious, not sweet, and the glaze adds a nice touch. Mine took 40 minutes in my bundt pan. Thanks for a nice cake recipe that isn't sickeningly sweet. Yum!

This cake was really good, lighter than a pound cake. I had to guess like the other reviewers at the amount of yogurt and went with 12 oz. (8 just seemed too small for the amounts of the other ingredients). I subbed almond for the vanilla, and that gave it a very nice flavor. I also cut back the sugar since we don't like things too sweet, 1/4 cup less in the cake and only 1/4 cup in the glaze with 2 tablespoons of lemon and no water. It was just the right sweet for us; the lemon was very subtle. It needed an hour to bake in our new-ish oven (I wonder if all the variation in time was due to different amounts of yogurt). Very enjoyable!

I have made this cake many, many times but have not reviewed it yet... this is a family favourite! I use 1.5C vanilla yogurt and a tsp of cinamon. Also, I have made this cake in different ovens and I have found that the cooking time varies in each. It's never taken less than 50 minutes but has taken up to 65 -70 minutes to bake completely. It's a good idea to keep checking it every few minutes after the 50 minute mark . Thanks chia for a great recipe!

I have been craving blueberriers and have been trying all sorts of different recipes using them. I made this last night and had a piece still warm and it was heavenly! The only thing I did differently was add 1 tsp of cinnamon because of personal preference. Thanks so much for posting a wonderful light recipe!
