Raspberry Yogurt Mini Bundt Cakes

I came across a great sounding recipe while browsing through a copy of Bon Appetit Magazine the other day and knew instantly that I had to make it as soon as possible.

It was a recipe for a Raspberry Yogurt Cake...see, it sounded so good right?

I decided to make it as mini bundt cakes and scones - and man were they good!! They were light, almost creamy, so perfectly tender. The berries were bursting with goodness bite after bite...it was like taking a bite of an evening cloud with sunlight streaming through it.

You need to try this recipe for sure! It's just perfect with a cup of tea, for brunch, breakfast or dessert!

I warmed them up the next day and they were just as delicious - a hit with the whole family...bliss!

I could eat one of these daily...really!!
