Cherry-Yogurt Loaf Cake



Last week, my husband and I made the plunge and finally bought a t.v. We have upgraded through 3 hand-me-downs, but decided to move up in the electronics world. After researching our options, we found ourselves buying one at Costco. While standing in line at Costco, I took a visit to their cookbook section. I found a great cake book that I couldn't pass up called Gorgeous Cakes. It is written by a british author, and has some wonderful recipes in it. I like that it has many cakes made with dried fruit, which I love to use. 


This cake, "sour cherry yogurt cake" was easy to make and turned out wonderfully. The cake didn't use eggs, but rather contained a pine nut paste. The cake was glazed with a mixture of orange juice and powdered sugar. The recipe called for red food coloring to give the pink color, but I had some blood oranges in the fridge so I used those instead. 

We had some friends over for dinner, and this made the perfect after dinner treat.
