Still have a few bags of Cape Cod cranberries. Made this yesterday, so good!!

Cyn, was the cake crumb tender and moist? I made a blueberry version that looked

similar from a book called Two Ingredient Miracle Dough Cookbook. The entire book contains recipes using a base of self-rising flour and yogurt.

Anyway, it tasted fine while still warm from the oven (because, let's be honest...what doesn't), but had a decidedly open-crumb, dry-ish taste afterward. I sliced up the rest and dropped it off at the sheriff's office because they are grateful for anything not wrapped in cellophane with unpronounceable ingredients.

Here's this recipe:
1.5 C self-rising flour
1 C vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 C sugar
2 TBL melted butter
1 egg
3/4 C blueberries (fresh or frozen)
2 TBL lemon zest (I didn't have any lemons because I used them all to make lemon curd. So I added 2 heaping TBL of tart lemon curd.

Icing:
1/2 C sifted confectionary sugar
1 TBL butter, soft
1 TBL milk or cream
1 TBL lemon juice (again, I used lemon curd here)

Blend by hand, then add a bit extra flour and pat (on parchment) into a 7" circle). Cut deep X into the middle. Transfer to pan to bake.

Bake 425 degrees 20-22 minutes or until cracks from the X are dry. I had to bake it at least 27 minutes before internal temperature reached 180. Let cool ten minutes before icing.

I made it only because I had all the ingredients and can't say whether I'd make it again. It has potential, but I'm not sure if the two main ingredients are the key problem with my opinion. If they are, then it's a big nada.
