Pam's Lemon Yogurt Cake and nana's vintage napkins.


This is the yummiest, moistest, softest, easiest lemon cake i've ever tasted. Pam flicked it over to me after RPM one morning and i wolfed it down before i even got out of the car park. I baked it the next weekend using our endless supply of Vaalia French Vanilla yoghurt and Don, Donna, Dean and I consumed half the cake in about 4 minutes. Amazing. And how adorable is the napkin it sits on? My nana gave them to me. No doubt from the moth-ball cupboard so I won't poison my guests with them, but if you're into learning scientific names of grapes and vines while you fres, these are the napkins for you.
