For the last three years I have been going to French classes run by Alliance Française here in Waterford- and most enjoyable they are too.
This year we have a new teacher, Linda, and she is a firm believer in the hands on method of teaching, if we perform some activity, or learn a French song we will pick up the language en passant.
I am rather inclined to think she is right.
This week we were all instructed to bring in the ingredients to make a Yoghurt Cake,Le Gateau au Yaourt and much fun and vocabulary was accrued while we mixed the same, and then brought the mixture to our respective houses to cook.
Here are the ingredients;

Le Gateau au Yaourt

250g Vanilla Yoghurt
300g Self Raising Flour
200g Caster Sugar
3 Eggs
50ml Sunflower Oil

The method is, tip everything into a bowl and beat until smooth.
Then pour into a 1kg, well buttered, loaf tin.

Pre-heat the oven to 200C, when it has reached that temperature put in the cake and immediately reduce to 180C
Cook at this temperature for 35 to 40 mts.

And here is the finished product.
