Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of yogurt besides sweetened natural yogurt?

Yes, you can substitute with any type of plain yogurt or Greek yogurt. If you use plain yogurt, consider adding a bit of sugar or honey to retain sweetness.

How should I store the leftover cake?

Store the leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate it for up to a week. Make sure it cools completely before storage.

What can I do if the cake does not rise properly?

Ensure your baking powder is fresh, as expired baking powder may affect rise. Also, make sure not to overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can lead to a dense cake.
