Notes

This cake will last for about 3 days at room temperature
Double the recipe for a 10 inch cake (like the original) and replace the water with rum if thats your thing.
I would suggest not to use low fat yoghurt as the texture will be altered and the cake wouldn't rise as much.
My measuring cup is 240 ml.
