Yoghurt cake with fruit | Voćni Kolač s jogurtom

This is by far my favourite ever cake base. It's easy, light and just tastes so good. The weird thing is that my mum, nor any other Croatian woman that I knew in Sydney ever baked yoghurt cake when I was growing up. I don't remember any yoghurt cakes at all. But strangely whenever I go to Croatia, every woman (really) that I visit bakes (or has a recipe for) some version of this yoghurt cake.

What the?!?

The great thing about this cake base is that it can be used for all sorts of fruit you may have on hand. In my recipe here, I've tried it with frozen fruit (a cherry and blueberry mix) but you can make this cake with apricots, plums, peaches, cherries, apples or an berry to may have on hand. And feel free to experiment, the only limit is your imagination! (I've been noodling with the idea of canned pineapple)

The base is stock standard and once you've mastered it, you literally have an endless array of cakes waiting at your fingertips.

One word of advice, because the fruit sits on the top, use a springform cake tin to easily remove the cake rather than trying to tip it out. If you don't have a springform tin, use enough baking paper around the sides to be able to hold onto the baking paper and lift out the cake. Using baking paper you will get the fold lines in the cake but I think that adds some rustic charm, so go with it.

Enough said, let's get to it...

Let me know if you tried this brilliant cake and what you thought?

Zivjeli! (Cheers and let’s live!)
