I was recently sent a tub of Greek Gods Honey and Vanilla yoghurt with a request to create a recipe with it that would be fit for Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love, beauty and desire.The competition was hosted together with Foodies100. I think this cake would rise to the challenge very well. It would be perfect to present to Aphrodite.
