*Banana Chocolate Yogurt Cake 2 cups sugar 200g butter 3 cups self raising flour 2 eggs 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup boiling water 1 cup plain yogurt 1 ½ tsp vanilla essence 2 mashed bananas ½ cup cocoa ¼ tsp salt Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Turn mixture in to medium roasting dish and bake at 180C for an hour. That’s it. Note, I pour the boiling water over the butter/marg to melt it. You don’t have to use plain yogurt. I have used fruit flavoured and it is lovely. I have also left out the cocoa altogether and not replaced it with anything. Bananas can be replaced with other soft fruit. So there you go. Very versatile. It will work fine in two smaller cake tins or even as muffins.* In my oven it took an hour and 10 minutes.* Recipe from evorotorua

It's not a sweet recipe but you could add some colemans mint sauce and use it as a dip or on top of a baked potatoe.or with lamb and pita breads.

Lemon Yoghurt Cake This recipe has been in the family for over 25 years it was given to my Mother a friend in Seattle hence the use of a "bundt" tin. Bundt tins are available for sale in our catalogue. The cake keeps extremely well and freezes beautifully. Just remember to grease tin well with butter and dust with flour,shaking off the excess before filling with mixture. Ingredients: 1 & 3/4 cups caster sugar rind 2-3 lemons 2 eggs 1 cup sunflower oil 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt (not low fat) 2-3 tsp lemon juice 2 cups self raising flour Method: Beat eggs,oil,sugar and peel together in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients in the order above. Butter and flour a 24cm bundt tin . Bake at 180C for 40-45 minutes. Test with a cake tester. Let cake rest only 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Dust cold cake with sifted icing sugar. Recipe from cookessentials
*You can make this in a regular cake tin too.

georgep31andlespat, here's a recipe that I recommend as a use for some of your yoghurt.
This recipe makes chocolate-lovers' dream muffins - it's easy and really foolproof in that it doesn't seem to need mxing quite as carefully as most muffin recipes, although I'm not suggesting that the mixture be beaten or mixed too enthusiastically.
TRIPLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS 3 cups plain flour (450g) 1 tbsp baking powder 3 tbsp cocoa 1½ cups brown sugar (360g) ½ cup each of dark chocolate dots and white chocolate dots – or chocolate buttons, quartered 120g butter, melted 1¼ cups milk or 1 cup natural unsweetened yoghurt + ½ cup milk 2 x 60g eggs, lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 5cm muffin pan. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a bowl. Add the brown sugar and dark and white chocolate dots. Mix, then add the melted butter, milk (or yoghurt and milk) and eggs and mix well. Three-quarters fill each of the muffin moulds. Bake at 180°C for approximately 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before turning out.
Hope that helps.:-))

I use yoghurt watered down in place of milk in my baking (half yoghurt, half water proportions). It gives a lovely lightness.
