Here is the fluffiest raisin and yogurt cake recipe that you will ever make, believe me! It is light and sugary, the perfect sugary treat for your afternoon cup of tea or coffee!
This yogurt cake is surprisingly soft.
It is almost like cotton when you bite into it.
I don’t know a better way to describe it really. Your teeth seem to sink into the cake slice like never before! Not entirely sure why.

But I think that the unsweetened yogurt apparently must have an important impact on the texture of that cake batter.
It is possible.
The raisins in the cake also add a pleasant sweet crunch to it. To give them even more punch you can soak them in rum instead of water.
I have done that before and it was delicious!

In early January 2024, I traveled to the Dominican Republic with a church mission group to assist with a school in one of their communities. We were asked to find nutritius recipes for children’s snacks. Your yogurt cake with raisins fit the request and they loved it.
