Many people have heard of the French Yogurt Cake made famous in the book Bringing Up Bébé by Pamela Druckerman. We love the simple goodness of this cake and how we can involve the kids in the baking. This yogurt cake is often the first thing that French children learn to make themselves. It calls for an individual serving size cup of yogurt, and all of the ingredients afterward are measured by the number of yogurt cups needed. It’s the perfect starter recipe to encourage a kids’ independence.
