Rhubarb and vanilla yoghurt cake
Rhubarb, orange and yoghurt make a delicious combination.If you don't have orange flower water, substitute rose water, or just use vanilla. If you have no vanilla pods, use a few drops of vanilla essence instead. Enjoy the cake warm or cold, at tea time or for dessert. It pairs beautifully with a dollop of creamy yoghurt.
