This time for Secret Recipe Club I got to "meet" Manuela from Manu's Menu. Manuela is originally from Italy but is now living in Australia with her family. (She also has 2 adorable little girls!) Her blog is focused on providing the "real thing" of Italian cooking- which just fascinates me! She also has some recipes for gorgeous Macarons on her site! One section of her blog is called Manu's Menu in your Kitchen. Manu has posted where other people have made her recipes and posted them on her site! I loved, loved, loved this section!
This cake Manuela describes as one her favorite so I really tried to stay with the measurements that are listed in the original recipe. Be sure not the throw away that Yogurt cup after you dump the yogurt into your bowl because that is your measuring cup for this cake! Manuela says in her recipe that her yogurt cup is about 150 ml and here in states our yogurt is about 177 ml. Since the entire cake is measured with the yogurt cup, I just stuck with 6 oz. cup and used greek yogurt.
I also made a glaze for the cake instead of just dusting with confectioners sugar.Another change I made to my recipe was making it in a bundt pan as I do not own a springform pan. I've always had a love for bundt cakes and now I have another quick cake to make!
Be sure to check out all of the other great finds for this week's reveal of Secret Recipe Club!!

Talk about saving on doing the dishes, oh yeah I love it. I wonder how different flavored yogurts would be, I'm think lemon...yum.
Hi Cara~Thanks for such nice words on my blog about your recipe for Andes Mint Brownies. What I didn't say in the post was that the brownie batter was so good, I could have eaten all of it! I'm not kidding, it was great.!! Your cake looks wonderful. I love the idea of the glaze. I reminds me of cakes my mom used to make when I was little~a loooong time ago. Have a good day!
Using the yogurt cup helps cut down on washing extra dishes. Boy that cake looks moist and delish. Great recipe and it looks like you got a great blog. Thanks for sharing.
What a fun recipe! My daughter lived in Australia for 18 months as a missionary for our church (LDS). She loved the country and the people. I bet this cake would bring back fond memories.
Another great month at SRC.
