I have made thousands of yogurt cakes over the years -- started with Clothilde's recipe from her blog in the early aughts. My favorite version subs out 1/4 of the flour with almond flour, and adds my home canned sour cherries. But I've made it plain, with rosemary and citrus zest, every which way. Always works. Perfect in lieu of lunch with a cup of tea.
This traditional quatre-quart recipe and its cousin gâteau au yaourt were the first two cakes I learned to make as a child. I have been known to use the flavored yogurt as the base of the latter, especially when buying a multipack of yogurts that includes my least favorite flavor (I love strawberries, I hate “strawberry-flavored”, but it’s fine in a yogurt cake!) it’s been a while since I made either, but I will make a point to make them again this week! I love your posts! Merci beaucoup!
Now do a kilo cake, please.
I am so very impressed by the research that goes into these posts! I hope they will be a book one day...

Two of my favorite French cakes! Lovely read too, thank you.
