Lemon Yogurt and Cherry Cake

Normally the experimenting starts with an idea already formed but todays recipe started because of a little bit of a challenge. I had attended the launch of the new Collective Dairy Yogurts and they asked me if I thought I could come up with a recipe using the yogurts. Originally I thought muffins but for no real reason I’m not actually a huge muffin fan. Instead I paired the lemon yoghurt with cherries in a loaf cake and you know what?

They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional)

Happy brownie making A few weeks ago I was perusing the interwebs, mainly pinterest, because it’s my latest obsession and I spend an inordinate amount of time pinning things that I want to eat, and things that I want at my wedding.

So basically after I found these I made them approximately 23 times.
