Yogurt cake with cherry tomatoes

You will love this savory yogurt cake filled with fresh cherry tomatoes and fresh basil! Very easy to make, plus you do not need any mixer. Just a bowl and a fork. This is what I do: I cut the cake into thick slices, wrap them with a piece of cling film each, and place them in your refrigerator. It’s the perfect school snack, ideal for my lunch break at work, great for your unexpected guests or your birthday party.
