Not seeing how this is healthy (white flour and sugar). Thanks for the post though – I will try to alter the recipe to use whole grain flour and no sugar (added or in the yogurt).
I do want to make this and plan to grind my own flour, and use plain, whole fat Greek yogurt. The sugar could definitely be reduced, in my opinion, though I’ll still add some (sucanat, probably). It is a dessert after all 😉
Baking a cake from scratch is always a healthier alternative then one from a box. Please let us know how your revised cake turns out. 🙂
