Yogurt Carrot Cake image

A very moist cake. This cake is delicious served with whipped cream or frost with a mixture of chevre whipped with honey and vanilla to taste. Using yogurt in baking produces a very tender, almost melting crumb. This delicious carrot cake should be allowed to ripen for 24 hours before serving. ** Maple Sugar is super sweet, twice as sweet as regular granulated sugar. It is what is made after making maple syrup. I would sub brown sugar out for it if you cannot find it. I would try mixing half white sugar and half brown sugar. Maybe even adding a little extra white.
