Rooibos Tea Yogurt Cake

I grew up with rooibos tea and so did my children. There was always a pot of tea brewing, because unlike black tea, rooibos gets better and better the longer it boils, I think.

At Faircape they make this unique Rooibos low fat yogurt. I find it very hard to put the tub down once I start. The flavour takes me right back to my childhood and the teapot on the stove. It is really, really good stuff. It was tough keeping the tub hidden to make this delicious teatime cake. The cake is moist, packed with flavour and needs no icing, which is a good thing.
