blog I adapted the recipe from: aspicyperspective.com)

Whoa...Long time, no post! My baking significantly decreased over this past semester because of two reasons: 1) My roommates and I gave up all sweets for lent. 2) I have no life other than nursing school. I am now home for the summer and ready to post all sorts of yummy stuff starting with this strawberry yogurt cake. My last bundt cake was a total fail, but I braved it with this cake because I just love how bunt cakes look! Weird?...maybe...:) One of my very good friends had been in Jamaica on a medical missions trip and I got to pick her up from the airport. It was wonderful hearing about her experience! This is the cake I made for dessert during her stay. It was super good. The yogurt gave not only a nice vanilla-y taste, but really good consistency! YUM-O! 


I wanted to try a step-by-step picture post, so here goes! Enjoy!!
