Yoghurt cake with pistachios
This cake is amazingly light, and has a very clean taste.

The cake should (apparently) be a light sponge on top, and a wet custard below. I prefer it a light sponge all the way through. Serve with yoghurt and fruit—cherries, pomegranate seeds.
If you don't make your own yoghurt, use Greek strained yoghurt, thinned with a little milk.
Shay found it disappointing at first, but after leaving it to cool found it very nice. The original recipe had pistachio nuts on top, instead of sugar, but that didn't add anything.
