This orange marmelade/yogurt cake sounds odd, but its a crowd pleaser believe me:





Yogurt-Marmalade Cake


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons baking powder


1 heaping cup of plain, lowfat yogurt


1 cup sugar


3 eggs


1 teaspoon vanilla


Zest of 1 lemon


1/2 cup Canola oil


1/2 cup prepared orange marmalade


1/4 cup yogurt


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray loaf pan with nonstick baking spray (or grease and flour it if it makes your skirt fly up.) Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together yogurt, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and canola oil until just combined. Pour over dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overbeat. Pour into loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Remove from pan. While cake is cooling, pour marmalade into pan. Heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Add yogurt to pan and turn off heat. Stir to combine, then pour slowly over the top of the cake, allowing icing to pool around the sides.



Everyone hates fruit cake EXCEPT people over 70. Sorry. (Here come the thumbs down I know I know) So make cranberry, pumpkin or apple breads.
