Did you know you can use our Muffin mix to prepare a 'gâteau au yaourt', a French yoghurt cake? 

It is a simple cake we prepare in France for pretty much any occasion, the one you'll make for a birthday party or bake with kids on a lazy Sunday.

This cake works great for kids afternoon snacks, 'le goûter'. Alternatively you can use it as a base for more fancy cakes, such as layer cakes or number cakes.

With Women's Day around the corner on March 8, I chose to make a number 8 shaped cake, using a 'chimney' baking pan with central hole. When the cake is cooled down, I slice it into two, then cut the top of one half and the bottom of the other half, and assemble the flat edges.

Next step is the fun part, decorating your cake! Pipe plant-based whipped cream on top of the cake and top it with berries, pretty chocolate bites and flowers.
