Yoghurt cake is the perfect cake for a parent to bake with their child. It's simple and quick to make, with the added advantage of not explaining to your kid about the complex issues surrounding various methods of measuring weight. This is because the base unit of measurement is the yoghurt pot. Thus, all references to 'pot' in the recipe refer to the pot of yoghurt.
