b. yoghurt cake (from portuguese dude at that party)
2- 3 cups flour
1/4 -1/2cup butter (optional)
less than 1 cup sugar
2- 3 eggs (to make it fluffy you can whip the egg whites first or if lazy just mix it all together)
any flavour yoghurt you want

(note: if the yoghurt you are using has alot of sugar in then decrease the sugar amount in the cake mixture)

c. angel food cake (introduced by jessie but recipe from someone else)
6 egg whites
1/2 - 1 cup (100 - 200g) icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla essence
1 tsp almond essence
1tsp cream of tartar (helps the egg white to form but if using a copper bowl then don't use as it can lead to poisoning)
1/2 cup or about 100g flour (or if you love almonds ground almonds can be substituted so don't add almond essence)

if you want a big big cake then just double everything..........
