Kolač od jogurta (Bosnian yogurt cake in light syrup)
Kolač od jogurta is a lightened form of the syrupy cakes of Bosnian and Serbian cooking: a yogurt and spelt flour sponge soaked in a honey and lemon syrup. It is moist, fresh and not too sweet, so it is much lighter than traditional sugar-syrup sweets. It is excellent with coffee and keeps nicely for a few days.

Tips
- Pour lukewarm syrup over the warm cake, because that way it soaks in best and does not turn soggy.
- Cutting the cake into pieces before adding the syrup is important, because then the syrup reaches between the slices too.
- Spelt flour is a little heavier, so mix the batter only until the flour disappears.
Frequently asked questions
Can it be made with white flour?
Yes, with plain flour it is lighter and softer, though the flavour is less nutty.
How long does it keep?
Covered, for 4 days, and it is usually even better the next day, because the syrup soaks through evenly.
