Molly Baz's Earl Grey Yogurt Cake

While we will always love similarly shaped go-to's like banana bread and pumpkin loaves, this earl grey yogurt cake is a worthy addition.
Molly Baz wrote this recipe for Bon Appetit's Basically, and it's suddenly all over the internet. People are going WILD for this cake.
It's simple to put together, has relatively straightforward ingredients (we were even able to find loose leaf earl grey tea in the bulk section of our QFC) and is totally delicious.
We agreed that this type of cake never wows us. Like, banana bread is good but we'd opt for a flaky croissant or golden brown scone any day. This isn't knock-your-socks-off-hold-the-phone-blow-your-mind delicious, but it's really good. And sometimes, that's what we all need.
Dak was worried that the earl grey flavor would be more for the novelty than the flavor (meaning it would taste just like vanilla cake) and Ju was skeptical that the earl grey would be overpowering. We were both wrong because it was completely lovely. The earl grey flavor was present but not overwhelming. The yogurt added a refreshing tang, keeping the cake from being too sweet, and the turbinado sugar on top made the outer crust exceptionally crunchy.
Ju likened this cake to a London Fog, which could not be more on point.
We found the recipe to be relatively resilient, which is always nice. We didn't have parchment paper, so we just heavily greased our pan (it came out just fine). We used safflower oil in place of standard vegetable oil (also fine). You can also sub regular yogurt for a dairy-free yogurt like Kite Hill.
This is the kind of thing you could polish off yourself any day of the week if you were sitting too close to it or whip up for friends on a Saturday morning. In our opinion, that's a good recipe.

Do you think it would be okay to substitute for a dairy free yogurt in the recipe?

SO sorry we missed this comment! YES! We actually used Kite Hill in this video.
