A beater is not required for this cake because the dry ingredients are simply whisked together and then hand-folded into the liquids using a spatula. It's not difficult, just takes some practice to get the folding technique right. Obviously I'm still working on it. :-) Baking911.com has a helpful article on folding, and if you scroll about halfway down the page you'll see instructions for folding flour into a batter. http://www.baking911.com/howto/fold.htm Hi Patricia.

I have made this a number of times and it really is hard to get that perfect look because its such a dense batter. But looking at your ingredients I see it doesn't have baking soda- may be thats missing! I haven't tried Ina's recipe but the one by Chocolate & Zucchini includes 1/2 tsp of baking soda- its always so soft and tasty without any butter! Do try this recipe- its no beating at all- I promise! I love love love yogurt cakes and lemon dresses this up so well!

My problem was I didn't have the proper sized eggs, Ina always uses x-lg & I only had lg. I saw that you made the same subsitution. I also thought the cake was okay (disappointing in fact) on the first day but was MUCH better on the third. What did you think? Thanks for sharing your experience! ~ingrid I made this before and found it fairly easy. My problem was I didn’t have the proper sized eggs, Ina always uses x-lg & I only had lg.

I haven't made this one yet, but you have me smiling on the cardboard & stairs comment. I'm remembering hockey puck biscuits of my own. Not a folding problem, but definitely something that didn't rise. Good memories. Ina’s recipes are so great. I haven’t made this one yet, but you have me smiling on the cardboard & stairs comment.

They're still great, but kinda funny looking w/ that flat top :) Yours looks yummy! If it makes you feel any better, I’ve made a few with flat tops.
