[baking] yogurt cake

Tried baking Smitten Kitchen's yogurt cake last night, and even though it may have overbaked just a tad, it's good~

I really dig cakes like these that are simple yet nice and flavorful. The yogurt does give a bit of tang, which is pushed even more by the lime zest. I skipped the blackberry sauce, since it was late when I started baking (around 11p) but since I do have the berries in the fridge, I may make a small batch of sauce for later.

I do want to bake more this summer, so maybe late-night baking will become my new weekly ritual.

[cake] chocolate basil...?

Sounds like a totally wacky (to the point of gross) combination, but it's actually not bad. The basil comes through more as an exotic scent in addition to the chocolate, but flavorwise, it just adds another layer of dimension to the cake.

I may add this to the list of (baking) projects to try.
