A super easy macaroni and cheese. Honestly, I even skip the baking step...I just pour the hot cheese sauce over what ever kind of pasta I feel like making. It's simple and I usually have all the ingredients on hand.

My only complaint about this recipe is that I didn't have any cider to go with the finished product!! ***I followed the directions to the letter, and I had no problems. The dough was a bit sticky to handle, but coating my hands and the surface with flour did the trick. (To keep the floury mess contained, I lightly greased a glass cutting board, the floured it. The grease helps the flour spread out evenly, so you don't get sticky spots where there was to little flour, or big floury spots on your dough where there was too much. Then the cutting board just went in the dishwasher-voila!! No nasty flour mess to clean off the counter!)***I used the scraps and the doughnut holes to test my oil, since I was doing it on the stove, and without a thermometer. At first the oil was too cool, and I wound up with some very greasy doughnuts, then it was a bit too hot, and they turned dark and crispy. But I eventually figured it out, and I was glad to have tested on the scraps, instead of having a whole mess of screwed up doughnuts on my hands!***Overall, I don't know that the time and effort was necessarily worth it, since I can get cinnamon sugar cake doughnuts at the bakery down the street, but it was a fun experiment, and a great recipe. They came out wonderfully.

A beautiful and delicious cake!! I only gave it 4 stars because I did make some changes, based on other reviews. Instead of 1 cup of plain yogurt, I used two 6oz cups of lemon yogurt (I used Stoneyfield Farm, because it's not as sweet as some others, but that's just personal preference). I also didn't measure the amount of lemon juice or zest, just used the juice/zest of three lemons. My husband thought it was a little TOO lemon-y, but our guests loved it. I baked in in two round 8" pans, and layered it with strawberry preserves. DELICIOUS! The only complaint I have is the amount of dishes I had to do afterwards because of all the mixing bowls!
