INGREDIENT NOTES:
FLOUR:

NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:
- Greek yogurt gives moisture and protein to your cake. It also replaces the need for butter or oil in your recipe. You may utilize regular yogurt or sour cream as another idea.

- It gives softness to your recipe and replaces the need for oil. You may use mashed banana as another option.
LEMON JUICE & ZEST:
- They give a fresh and bright flavor to your cake. Also, it makes your cake flavor refreshing. You may utilize lime juice and zest as another idea.
