Madzoonov Gargantag (Armenian Yoghurt Cake) image

Yoghurt cakes are always so moist. I love the sound of the lemon flavourings in this one. The recipe specifies natural yoghurt, but when I make it I plan to use creamy Greek yoghurt. I'm posting this recipe, which I found in 'The Best of Lebanese and Middle Eastern Cooking' for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

This cake is way too sweet for me. I'll have to reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of yogurt, but this cake was surprisingly delicious. The orange zest and cardamom really balance out the tanginess of the yogurt.
