Michelle shared this easy Yogurt Cake recipe in the last kitchen of South Arm Older Adults Cooking Club.

This is a great recipe for summer with the abundance of fruits. You can use any berries, stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, cherries and even fall fruits like apple and pear (just dice them small).
