All I can say is Yummy! This cake is sponge-like, but moist. You can put almost any frosting/filling with it- Cream cheese frosting, butter cream, chocolate frosting and it all tastes wonderful. Adults as well as kids love this one. I've had this one for years.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup reduced-fat vanilla yogurt
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon white sugar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Mix flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and mix with fingers until coarse crumbs form. Gently mix yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract into flour mixture until dough is just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, for five or six turns. Pat or roll the dough out into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush each wedge with milk and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or cool completely and store in an airtight container.
