Confession time: I don't like peaches. In fact, I might call them gross and do an exaggerated nose wrinkle when faced with them. Peach yogurt gets the same reaction. I don't care if it's just sugary yogurt with a hint of peach flavor, when you're expecting strawberry and open up your yogurt and find it's that peachy color, it just ruins your day. Or my day. Because you might like peach, and maybe that would make your day.
But you know what's strange? I don't mind them baked into things. Weird, right? What is that about? I think it's because the overly peachy flavor gets diluted in baking. So when I found myself with an abundance of peach yogurt thanks to that Yoplait pack at Costco, I decided the solution would be to use it to bake some stuff. Because what else am I gonna do? Actually eat it? Gag!
This here is a yogurt cake, which can be used with any type of yogurt, to be fair, though I would suggest vanilla and peach are probably the most appropriate for this type of breakfast-y cake. Perhaps blueberry. Strawberry seems sort of weird, but hey, you can try it and let me know if you're so inclined. This would also probably be over the top delicious if you added a glaze, but I didn't this time.

Sometimes, magic happens. Like, you're not quite sure what to bake. You wanted to bake something with fruit, but that requires going to the grocery, and well, that just sounds not fun. And you're sadly low on actually many important baking ingredients....
- Honey Wheat Pound Cake
Sometimes I sit on my table and eat things while looking out the window. I mean, this is normal, right? Oh look gold toenails! Sorry if you have some aversion to feet. That's my foot. Get over it. I was eating on the table and decided photographic...
- Pumpkin Coffee Cake
You guys, this cake. This cake! This cake is amazeballs. For. Real. If you like pumpkin at all, even if you're not entirely sure you're that into pumpkin... make it anyway! And if you don't like pumpkin? Who are you?! Pumpkin is so...
- Breton Pear Cake
Uh oh, I'm using pears again! What is it with me and pears, you wonder? I like them more than apples. There, I said it. Apples can take a long hike off a short pier. Not really. Apples are good too. Most fruit is fairly delish. Except raisins. Don't...
- Peach Shortbread Crumble
I was in the mood for something kind of breakfast-y and fruity the other day, and after seeing this recipe for a peach shortbread thing on Smitten Kitchen that looked easy enough, I decided to go for it. I'm not even a big peach fan, but I can take...

Forgot to take photos of the beginning steps! Whoops. Here's before you add in the flour etc. and the yogurt.
And after. It's a bit lighter in color and a less thick but looks much the same!
Pour it into your bundt pan.
It'll come out looking like this.
After it's cooled a bit, flip it out onto a plate.
Cut in and enjoy!
