easy spanish dessert recipes -
yoghurt sponge

Whenever I'm offered a slice of cake in a Spanish home, it always seems to be this recipe!

Extremely easy-to-make ... using simple ingrediants ... it's very adaptable.

The recipe below uses a lemon yoghurt.

But I often use a plain yoghurt, then replace one tablespoon of flour with cocoa/chocolate powder, or mix a dessertspoon of instant coffee with a little water and add that to the mixture.

Use your imagination and what you have in the cupboard!

Once cooked, I tend to just finish the cake off with a simple dusting of icing sugar shaken over through a sieve.

But you can always decorate with piped cream for a more special effect.

Here in Spain, everyone uses the empty yoghurt container as the measure - for example, with the sugar, you just fill the yoghurt container twice to obtain the correct amount!

You'll know when the sponge is cooked by piercing the centre with a knife - if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.

Also, the sides of the sponge will shrink away slightly from the tin when it's ready.
