The Bread is in the Baking

When I got back to Portland from visiting Seattle I stopped by Trader Joe’s before heading home to pick up some groceries. Figuring my housemates had eaten most of the eggs we had in our fridge I bought another dozen eggs.
Only to come home and discover that there were still 8 eggs in the fridge. They hadn’t eaten a single egg while I was gone.
So what’s a girl to do?
Go online and find a cake recipe that uses 6 eggs.

I changed a couple of things when I made this cake:

The original recipe calls for orange zest, but I didn't have any oranges in my house when I made this, so no zest! I also used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and nonfat Greek yogurt instead of whole milk Greek yogurt. I spread some strawberry rhubarb freezer jam I'd made earlier in between the layers of the cake. The original recipe calls for a butter cream frosting, but I'm not the hugest frosting fan and I didn't have any powder sugar on hand. The cake may have looked prettier with it, but without frosting it is light and fresh tasting.
All in all the cake still came out wonderfully.

French Yogurt Cake
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup skim milk Greek yogurt
6 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. almond extract
1 cup olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8" round cake pans with butter.
Whisk the dry ingredients together.
Mix the sugar, yogurt, eggs, vanilla and almond extracts. Whisk vigorously until well blended. While whisking, add the dry ingredients, then switch to a larger rubber spatula and fold in the oil.
Divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. (The top will be golden and the cake will come away a bit from the sides of the pan.)
Transfer the cakes to a cooling rack and let them cool completely until ready to assemble. After the cakes have cooled slowly cut them each in half and spread the jam of your choice between each layer. Enjoy!

The picture is a little creepy, I apologize. I'll change it to something less menacing the next time I make the cake.
