Vanilla Yogurt Cake

 Elaine (Ontario) says:
This cake was nice a moist. I baked it at 350°F for 45 minutes until my toothpick came out clean. I also used only 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar in my batter. Very Easy and my family really enjoyed it!

Very easy, moist cake! I did use a loaf pan and the batter spilled over during baking. Next time I will use a small cake pan instead. I baked at 350°F for about an hour. I also used mini choc chips in place of the nuts. Very good!

A lovely moist cake, I used vanilla yoghurt but reduced sugar by 1/4 cup. It made a loaf & 6 muffins, I sprinkled filling on top of the muffins. Will definitely make again.

Complete flop. Followed instructions to a tee. Thought it was weird that the butter and sugar weren't creamed before adding the other wet ingredients, but I did as the recipe instructed. Used a 9x5 loaf pan. At 45 minutes the cake didn't seem quite done, so I went 50 minutes. Edges were crunchy and done, but center still looked a little soft. After 10 minutes cooling in the pan, the center collapsed because it was raw. Nothing wrong with oven as I made another dish immediately after. Disappointed that I wasted all those ingredients. Won't be trying again.
