Tuesdays with Dorie: French Yogurt Cake
I searched at several groceries for lemon marmalade with no luck. So, I went with what was available, orange. With that, I swapped orange zest for the lemon as well. I baked in a 9 inch cake pan, with the intent to layer. However, I got lazy once it was out of the oven. Smothered in strained marmalade, whipped up some white chocolate whipped cream and tossed some of the orange zest that was strained on top. I loved it. Especially on day 2. I would definiately make a day in advance from now on. Its so much better after a good sit. I will make this again. I think my Gram would love it. So maybe for the next time I see her. And I will keep a look out for lemon marmalade too. Id like to give the original recipe a shot. I adore lemon.
Thanks to Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction for the selection of the week. Its a keeper! And check out the TWD blogroll if you want to see how this cake was made a zillion different ways.
Your cake looks perfect! I went with the orange zest too. This was a great recipe.
your french yogurt cake looks very delicious. ill to make one of this cake…thankssss
Since I had a sneak preview of your cake the other day, I just couldn’t resist saying how delicious it looks. I agree that it tasted even better the next day. Lovely.
I agree–this one definitely gets better with age. Nice job! I’ve never made white chocolate whipped cream. Sounds interesting.
Hey! I went with orange too.
Yours looks fabulous.
que de belles déclinaisons ce mardi ! c’est très réussi
I liked it too. E-mail me your address, and I’ll send you a jar of Lemon Marmalade.
That looks wonderful! I LOVED this cake, it smelled so good while cooking and tasted wonderful
I paired it with simple lemon curd. YUM!
that looks so moist and good! it made a lovely round cake!
I love your second photo. The whipped cream and the sunshine pouring all over your cake. It looks SO good.
That looks perfect Laurie! I love the white chocolate whipped cream on top and bet the orange flavor was awesome (I know my husband would have preferred it!).
I love the look of your cake! Nice job!
yours looks so pretty and… well… French! simple and sophisticated. love the round cake, i’ll definitely do that next time
Oh my word – white chocolate whipped cream on this must have been awesome! I loved this cake as well.
Your cake looks fabulous! The white chocolate whipped cream sounds wonderful.
Yum! The whipped cream sounds like such a great pairing!
It looks great with the whipped cream!
Yummy… looks so delicious!
Beautiful job on the cake! What a great idea to use the leftover bits from straining the marmalade as a garnish! I was too lazy to strain ….
How absolutely stunning. I love the way the light is framing your cake! Lovely.
“Whipped up some white chocolate whipped cream” aren’t you just so clever! Your cake didn’t need to have layers to be all chic! I love it!
great looking cake!
your cake looks fabulous! I think I like it in the round form – it looks more cake like than the loaf
Oh, wow, Laurie, that looks awesome. White chocolate!! Fantastic looking.
I am in love with that second picture – it’s just gorgeous! Beautiful job!
i love that 2nd photo. would have loved some whipped cream w/mine too!
Laurie, this cake is beautiful, especially with that decadent whipped cream. fyi, lemon marmalade is often found in the imported foods section – it’s a British specialty. I know our Whole Foods has lemon marmalade in that section (not the jam section). You’re in my thoughts and prayers on the loss of your grandmother. Is she the one you mention in this post?

I was just looking through your blogs and I have to say that your photos are great. They have an interesting POV coming from them, if food can have a point of view. I have really enjoyed just looking around. Thanks.
I love yoghurt cake; and especially with citrus. I love your photo too! now i know what to make this weekend!
