No Fuss Yoghurt Cake

This is probably one of the simplest baking recipes I have. It's super-quick to make and you don't need weighing scales, dreamy for those times you find yourself in a poorly-equipped kitchen and have to whip up a cake for a friend's birthday. I had to make this cake almost every day when I was working my ski season as a Chalet Host. That's probably about 200 times - you can see why Chalet Girl Bum is such an issue! The fact it's made with yoghurt means it should even rise at high altitude in the mountains, fail safe.

Ingredients:

• 1 125g pot of natural yoghurt
• 1 pot of vegetable oil
• 2 pots of sugar
• 4 eggs
• 4 pots of flour
• 1 sachet baking powder
• Icing sugar
• Sweets e.g. Smarties, Haribo (for decoration)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. In a large mixing bowl add the yoghurt, then rinse out the pot to measure the other ingredients
3. Add the oil, sugar and eggs and mix
4. Add the flour and baking powder and beat until smooth
5. Pour the mixture into a lined baking tin and cook in the centre of the oven for 25-30 minutes
6. Mix icing sugar in a bowl with a little water to form water icing
7. Allow cake to cool before pouring icing on top
8. Decorate with sweets and let the icing set before serving
