LEMON GREEK YOGURT RASPBERRY POUND CAKE
Light raspberry pound cake made with lemon raspberry Greek yogurt.
I happen to be a huge fan of Greek yogurt. I usually have a Granola Yogurt Bowl every day. While I was grocery shopping last week I came upon Raspberry Lemon Greek Yogurt and my mind starting spinning with all the things I could make with it.
Those are two of my favorite flavors. Lemon and Raspberry taste good in pretty much everything. I’ve even had Raspberry tea which was delicious.
I’ll have to copycat that recipe and post it soon.
Lately, I’ve been on a loaf bread baking spree so I decided to make a bread using the raspberry lemon Greek yogurt.
And let me tell you……it didn’t disappoint.
The yogurt gives the bread a light moist addition with is just enough raspberry lemon flavor to make you want more.
It’s one of the best breads I’ve ever had.
I topped it with a simple icing but I didn’t add lemon or raspberry to the icing. I tried it with a lemon icing and it was too much, you could not taste the raspberry flavor in the bread so I just used a simple icing glaze on top and that’s the perfect topping for this bread.
