Big Fat Cake

That was what I wanted to make yesterday and this is what I did:

The recipe was based on using one pack of butter and six eggs. This seemed like a good starting point and I remember vaguely a recipe that uses those quantities. The flour, sugar and yoghurt were as I think I remembered the quantities to be. Actually I didn´t measure the yoghurt at all. Once the butter was soft, I added 300g of sugar and then the eggs. After that, a load of vanilla and about really approximately, 200ml of natural yoghurt. I just added enough until the mixture was as runny I as thought it should be. It looked like it had curdled, but no matter because once 350g of flour was in, it was all fine.

I baked it at gas 2 for about an hour. My oven has no thermostat or regulator, so I think it must start at gas 2 and slowly work it´s way up to about gas 4. Anyway, the knife came out clean. I baked it in a ring mold. I think it would work as two loaf cakes or a 25 cm round cake.

This morning it was just right with hot milky coffee. This afternoon it will be great with a cup of tea. Toasted it would work with jam and it could also be a drizzle cake. In the fridge I have some thick orangey syrup that I made a while ago and I am thinking of pouring that over.

Next time I am going to up the butter
