I am always on the hunt for any excuse to eat cake for breakfast. And this might be the best way. It’s a fluffy coffee cake that uses greek yogurt as the main source of moisture and richness. It sounds a little unique, but trust me when I say yogurt cake will forever change how you think of breakfast.
The main ingredients for this cake are:
- all-purpose flour (you can use whole wheat!)
- greek yogurt
- maple syrup
- almond milk
Take all of those things, add some leveaners and of course some coffee, and you get an easy breakfast filled with affordable, wholesome and nutritious ingredients. Ok I’m done now, let’s get to baking…
