The first Monday of every month means Patty Millay is back for another edition of What's Cookin'? Today, Patty is serving up an Easter Sunday-inspired dessert. How does Strawberry Yogurt Cake sound? Well, here's the recipe!
From Patty:
This cake is so light and refreshing that you can serve it for brunch, lunch or any occasion. Ya'll know that I'm all about finding the easy and quick way to make most dishes. There are occasions in life that call for a traditional full effort and this one is SO worth it! I sifted, zested and whisked - and it was fabulous!!! This particular recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Charlotte - it's one of her favorites!
