The team at Dormouse and The Teapot were thrilled to receive a delivery of TOTAL Greek yoghurt the other day courtesy of FAGE.

We are already big fans of TOTAL and often use yoghurt as a low fat tasty alternative to cream or crème fraiche in cooking. We have never tried at baking with it however and inspired by the classic Greek yogurt cake (Yaourtopita) we had a go at whipping up a gorgeous orange and clove cake for tea time.

The end result was simply delicious, the cake had a moist crumb and the rich flavors of cloves and tangy citrus were lovely. It was not too sweet and so was perfect with afternoon tea and even breakfast (yes we love cake that much!)

Here's the recipe if you would like to have a go yourself...
