Honestly speaking, I've never been a fan of pound/butter cakes. I find them dense and dry, I'll very much prefer a chiffon or sponge cake. Gina shared this recipe in Kitchen Capers and many members tried and gave thumbs up to this recipe. I decided to give it a try and I must say this cake is unlike any pound/butter cakes that's heavy and dense. And the yogurt and cranberries combination is truly awesome!
I was rushing through this bake as I needed the oven for my Yogurt Bread, thus that explains why the top ain't brown nicely. I think it'll be better if I had let it bake for another 5 more mins. Nevertheless, it still taste yummy!
