Raspberry Yoghurt Teacake

While Mondays are my new Sunday (well, almost), I finally got some time to sit and read a book and bake something new for myself. I’m not a big fan of snacking on raspberries, but I love them in baked goodies. Today I made myself a raspberry yoghurt cake. I especially love yoghurt cakes. They are my comfort food. They are always more moist than regular cakes, and keep longer too. And I adore how the raspberry red bleeds into the cake, making it look so spectacular.

Makes 9-12 mini tea cakes.
