Vanilla Yogurt Cake With Chocolate Chunks

Vanilla Yogurt Cake with Chocolate ChunksIf you follow us on Instagram you already know that our morning coffee is very important.

French breakfasts don’t include savory dishes, but rather a pastry and hot drink or a baguette with butter and jam called tartine.

Even Gali, who is unable to eat chocolate before noon, is willing to eat it in the morning. Of course I’m looking for the pieces with the largest amount of chocolate 🙂

    Thank you Sharon for sharing your recipe with us! I made this today and it was wonderful – no special ingredients required and it was really easy 🙂 I needed an extra egg to get to 210g – I’m in Canada and I think our large eggs are really considered mediums in EU (thanks for putting the weights in your recipe). I noticed you had a version with pistachios and cherries and will be trying that when cherry season begins for us in the summer. Thanks again!
