I couldn't resist trying this exotic sounding variation although I frugally utilized what I had on hand- one lime, one meyer lemon and some thyme from my herb garden. The aroma was intoxicating. And as I savored my first bite of this cake which I topped with homemade lemon curd and fresh strawberries, I pictured myself not in my tiny kitchen but in a seaside cafe in Nice- sipping a glass of wine and looking oh so chic with my sunglasses and silk scarf and...a girl can dream can't she?

Tuesdays On The Riviera
Its been a while since the stars have aligned where I've had both time off and disposable income. Unemployment checks don't cut it when it comes to international travel so for now all my adventures will have to be lived vicariously- my cousins 3 month trip to Europe, the Today Show in Ireland, and this week's TWD, Riviera Yogurt Cake.
I couldn't resist trying this exotic sounding variation although I frugally utilized what I had on hand- one lime, one meyer lemon and some thyme from my herb garden. The aroma was intoxicating. And as I savored my first bite of this cake which I topped with homemade lemon curd and fresh strawberries, I pictured myself not in my tiny kitchen but in a seaside cafe in Nice- sipping a glass of wine and looking oh so chic with my sunglasses and silk scarf and...a girl can dream can't she?

Yum! Your cake looks awesome!
Sounds delicious! I debated about making the Riviera version. I'm glad to know it worked out.
Beautiful! I did the Riveria version too and loved the savory tang of the flavors.
I think if any cake can take you on an adventure in your mind, this one can :) It looks gorgeous!
Wasn't it amazing with lemon curd and strawberries? I really need to add thyme to mine next time like you did. Love your beautiful photos!
Cake looks fantastic with the strawberries. Great job. Dream on. We all do.....
Yep, we gotta be able to dream. We've been making quite a few French recipes lately, haven't we?
Anyway, yours looks wonderful!

Oui, a girl's gotta dream. Your cake looks great! I really enjoyed this recipe too.
A girl can always dream. And that cake sounds like it would just make the dream that much more real - great job!
