Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the pineapple yogurt with another flavor of yogurt?
Yes, you can substitute the pineapple yogurt with another fruit-flavored yogurt such as peach, strawberry, or vanilla. Keep in mind that the flavor of the cake may change based on your substitution.
What is the best way to store leftover Pineapple Yogurt Cake?
Store the leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it fresh for longer, you can refrigerate it for up to a week. You can also freeze slices of the cake for up to 2-3 months; just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap.
My cake sank in the middle while baking. What did I do wrong?
A sinking cake can be caused by several factors, including not beating the eggs and sugar enough, overmixing the batter, or opening the oven door too early. Make sure to beat the mixture until it is fluffy, gently fold in the dry ingredients, and avoid opening the oven until the recommended bake time is nearly up.
