The 5-minute yogurt, almond, and mandarin cake is an extremely soft and aromatic dessert with a delicious taste. Like all my 5-minute cakes it is very simple to make because nothing needs to be whipped; you will only need two bowls and a hand whisk.
I love breakfast cakes like the paradise cake or the margherita cake but after the Christmas holidays, you need to make simpler baked goods that are not too heavy, and you’ll find plenty on my blog; I adore the 5-minute cocoa cake and the 5-minute apple and orange cake perfect for starting the day.
