In France, the Yogurt cake or more commonly called Gateau au Yaourt is the mother’s favorite cake to bake with their young ones. Why is this? because it is so simple as the yogurt container is the reference used to measure all the other ingredients which makes it ultra easy and fun for the kids.

Here in Singapore, coconut milk is easier to find than plain yogurt and one of my kids being intolerant to cow’s milk, we always try to work with alternatives.

For those of you who have eaten Financier cakes before, you will find the consistency of this one a bit similar, although lighter.
