“This is my cake to make when company unexpectedly comes”

This French Yogurt Cake is a delightfully simple yet elegant dessert, beloved for its incredibly moist crumb and tender texture. Infused with tangy Greek yogurt and fragrant vanilla, it bakes up beautifully and is perfectly complemented by a creamy, light yogurt-cream cheese frosting. It’s a versatile cake that’s easy enough for everyday baking but lovely enough for special occasions.
