Yogurt Marble Cake

 After coming back home, I still don't want to do anything much ^^.

Just sit, relax, and enjoy my at home moment. Anyway I still dream about food, there are many things in my head, but making it is another story. Spending my time in the kitchen is my way of relaxing too. 
So, the best thing that I can do is making something super easy, well, most of my recipes are easy so I don't think that you will be surprised hearing it. Simple ingredients, straight forward method, no technique required, recipe that anyone can make and enjoy, that's my way of cooking and baking.
Cake that you don't need to whip or fold like this one is something that I always love to create. All you have to do is putting all the ingredients into a bowl, and stir them together, so easy right? But with yogurt in the list, it gives the cake slightly tangy taste and it helps rising the cake too. Beware when preparing the pan, brush it thoroughly so you can remove the cake from the pan easily.
