Yogurt Icing Recipes

When I first came across this recipe, I could not believe that these ingredients could create a cake-like consistency. I was wrong. The cake is fluffy and light, and I cannot wait to try it with other citrus fruits. In this recipe, oranges provide vitamin C and antioxidants. Each egg provides approximately 5.5 grams of protein, adding substance to the cake. Lastly, almonds are high in vitamin E and magnesium, acting to lower cholesterol. This cupcake is gluten-free and adapted from one by New York Times food writer Martha Rose Shulman. The oranges can be prepared the day before and refrigerated overnight.

I was amazed that these ingredients actually cook up to make a cake! If you are avoiding flours or looking for a sweet alternative for a diabetic friendly cake - you need to make this to believe it actually turns out.

I make this icing to go with some light pumpkin bars. It's quite easy and I like the tang the yogurt gives it.
