This flourless yogurt cake is the best cake that I ever made, it is creamy and incredibly light.
When I was baking this cake decorated with milk chocolate ganache, the news of Joe Biden’s election was announced. My children came in the kitchen jumping up and down that he won Pennsylvania, and since my neighborhood is inhabited by mostly all democrats we heard fireworks and even people blowing horns in celebration for most of the day.
I saw many people celebrating and some people who were happy with the outcome but still wary of the future. While I understand the need to still keep an eye on what’s happening,
I also think that a lot of people be able to celebrate and take a deep breath and relax for at least 24 hours and enjoy it without thought of the future just yet.
In the moment of the announcement, I felt as though a large weight off the backs of the people around me and in general were lifted.
The people’s voices were heard. To swerve back to the topic of food, this cake coincidentally fit into the category of lightness and definitely helped to brighten up the already relaxing day.
