I don’t know about you guys, but I am a citrus FREAK. Lemon, limes, and frickin oranges man. You’ll find a LOT of my recipes feature these zesty beasts of the fruit family. So if you share in my acidic enthusiasm, this post is for you!
You know when you go to the grocery store — write a list and think you got it all under control? Suddenly you approach the yogurt isle and you think, “Sh*t, do I have yogurt? No I don’t think I do.” So you proceed to buy yogurt thinking how you really saved yourself from an unforeseen yogurt shortage at home. Turns out, you already had 2 full containers at home. SO YEAH, that’s why I decided to make this cake!
