Lime, Olive Oil and Yoghurt Cake
This tasty cake has been shared with us by Tenina Holder from Cooking with Tenina. She created it when she had an abundance of limes and had yoghurt in the fridge but no butter. We love when a recipe makes use of what you have on hand, and this recipe is no exception. Try it for something different!
