GCC: Greek Yogurt Cake

They say that the simple things in life are the most extraordinary. Its true, we take it for granted. Humans are the ones that complicated things.

In this case, this recipe cannot be overthought, or over complicated. It is what it is.

A fast batter to put together with simple ingredients that I bet, are sitting in your pantry/refrigerator right now. And the end results is a great snacking cake.

And I’m not taking about twinkies here.

TWD: Sweet Cream Biscuits

If you follow along this blog, you know that for the last couple of weeks it has been all about cakes, and sweets, frosting and chocolate.

Frankly, I had been so tired to post anything else, beside my baking club commitments. And let me tell you I have some good savory stuff up my sleeves.

So, after looking at the choice made by Melissa of Love at First Bite, I was ready to do this. My first from scratch biscuits! After a couple of weekend of cakes, I was ready for something that had nothing to do with frosting a cake.

I need to come clean; I’m a can-a-biscuit cook. Yep, buy a can, pop open the can, bake and out to the table they go. In fact, biscuit in my house are not very common; we prefer to cook arepas for the weekend breakfast fare. But, when they are requested, the dough boy goes a long way in making things a bit easy in the CP household.
