This versatile brunch recipe is elegant enough to serve guests, but easy enough to make on a Sunday morning with the kids, to pair with coffee all week long. “When I lived in France my host family taught me how to make this insanely delicious and easy Olive Oil Yogurt Cake. You can use standard 6 oz yogurt cups so you don’t even have to dirty a measuring cup!” shares Rachel Wyman, owner and head baker at Montclair Bread in Montclair, New Jersey. She recommends using regular (not Greek) yogurt and prefers vanilla, but says you can play around with different flavors for variation.

3 pots sugar
In a small bowl mix together these dry ingredients:
4.5 pots of flour
