NOTES : [This is an adaptation of a recipe for peach almond cake, changed so it could be served to a friend with allergies to tree nuts and fruits.

It tasted better than the peach almond version]. 1.The recipe listed all-purpose flour, but I used whole wheat flour. 2. The recipe calls for plain yogurt, but I always use Biobest 1% fat active-culture yogurt (made by Astro), so I have entered the ingredients in this manner to determine the nutritional content.
