There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Yogurt Cake - Untested


Makes 12 muffin-sized cakes, or 1 loaf

½ yogurt (125 g)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1½ cups flour
1½ tsps. baking powder
⅓ cup neutral-tasting oil or melted butter
Syrup
Orange or lemon juice
Sugar to taste 
  1. Heat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC. 
  2. Beat the yogurt and the sugar together in a bowl. 
  3. Beat in the eggs and lemon zest. 
  4. Sift the flour with the baking powder and beat in. 
  5. Finally, add the melted butter (or oil, although it doesn't taste quite as nice) and beat the whole mixture well. Pour into non-stick muffin tins or a greased and floured metal loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, approx. 25 minutes.
  6. For the syrup, heat orange or lemon juice with sugar, to taste, and cook until the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Prick the tops of the cakes with a fork, and spoon the syrup over so it sinks into the cakes.
