This French Yogurt Cake, chosen by Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction (click for recipe), may have been one of the easiest recipes to throw together. In France, all of the ingredients are measured by using a single yogurt container. (I sometimes envy the French's ability to create the most beautiful and elegant things, and make it look so effortless).
Since I heard about all of the glorious wonders of the French Yogurt Cake, I wanted to make it as the recipe called for, but topped it with an orange glaze rather than lemon. And wow, did this live up to all of the praise. Light with a tender crumb. A hint of lemon. Moist. Scrum-diddly-umptious.
Then, I wanted to play around a bit. I made it again, but decided to make muffins filled with an orange mousse. I baked them for 14 minutes in standard muffin pans, and as they cooled, I searched far and wide for a good orange mousse recipe.
I'm still searching.
Why are there no orange mousse recipes online? Does this orange mousse not exist? I don't think I'm reinventing the wheel here. So I found a recipe for lemon mousse and used orange juice instead of lemon juice.
It turned out to be more of an orange whipped cream, rather than an orange mousse, but it went so well in the muffins. I hollowed out the top, piped in a bit of orange cream, replaced the top, and brushed it with the orange marmalade glaze.
I bit into the cake and was greeted by billowy, orange delight in a muffin. This muffin was skyrockets in flight. It was my baby and I was gonna hold it tight. Thinkin' of it was gonna work up my appetite.
Oh yes, my friends. This muffin was Afternoon Delight.
I brought these in to work, and my co-worker (who has an amazing way with words and is a fantastic writer) came over to my desk and said, "This is really lovely. It's like biting into springtime."
Hells yeah it is! Springtime Afternoon Delight!

It's a good idea to invest in a powerful vacuum cleaner, the stain would be thoroughly removed without further problems. The prospect of buying new carpet is a best nonconductor than a dirty one. After 15 carpet cleaning new orleans minutes, spray on vinegar and water solution and blot dry. With rooms that get less of the sun carpet cleaning new orleans during the day, bright colors can help them look lighter.

Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the same topics as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
