Spiced Cranberry Cake with Yogurt

Our creamy sheep milk yogurt makes this cake extra tender and moist. Our organic cow yogurt can be substituted with equally delicious results. Serve it for breakfast with coffee or tea or as a dessert with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. It’s even better made a day ahead!
