Greek Yogurt Cake
The Greek yogurt in this recipe makes the cake extra moist, so your fork gracefully slides through as you take each bite. I topped it with confectioners’ sugar and slices of strawberry, but it’s easy to customize it how you like, whether you add cinnamon sugar, mixed berries, or even a chocolate drizzle.
