Kate, this cake is fabulous!!!!<br/>It is so soft, moist and the flavour is incredible! Very vanillay and perfect for variations, like e.g. chocolate chips. YUM!<br/>I didnt experience any dryness or odd flavour at all.<br/>I made half the recipe, which I baked in two small ramekings giving me the perfect little cakes. They were such a hit, even my mum ate a big slice of cake. lol<br/>I made one substitution due to what I had on hand: I used a lovely cherry yogurt in place of the greek and it worked out very nicely adding a touch of fruit to the taste. Mmmm!<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this awesome recipe with us! I think it will be my go to recipe for bday cakes for friends from now on. So easy to make and so yummy!<br/>Made and reviewed for Make My Recipe Edn #11 July 2010.

Delicious flavor! It really is like a custard Harry Potter'ed into a cake. A beautiful rich golden yellow and with a very fine texture. At first glance it looks like it's going to be dense and heavy but it's not. While it isn't an angel food it's very toothsome and moist and the yogurt tang comes through which I like. Made for ZWT 9, thanks kate.

Oh yum, this reminds me of a cake my mum used to make..tastes like a better version of a pound cake..I made to small loaves out of it and froze one for another time...even after freezing the cake is still lovely ...(it didn't stay frozen for long...lol) A winner recipe, thanks Kate!

Made this for the DS's adult recretation music group and unfortunately as nice as they all said it looked, no one liked it. I talked to the supervisor of the programme and she was surprised as well and even she couldn't put her finger on why she didn't like it other than it was a little on the dry side which may have been my fault. The only different thing I did was to use a greek vanilla yogurt. Sorry Kate, made for Every Day a Holiday tag game.
