#RecipeOfTheDay is Yogurt-Pot Cake. This is the Italian version, but it’s a staple of French kitchens as well. You use a little pot of plain yogurt and then measure the other ingredients in the same pot – though I do give weights, too! I do love a simple, plain cake. www.nigella.com/recipes/yogu...
