    Blood Orange Yogurt Cake are what winter dreams are made of!I am kind of into citrus fruit right now and just when I thought…its time to move on, Bam…the citrus fruit is more beautiful then ever and I have to have it all.  Blood orange yogurt cake is full of flavor, the best texture and the most beautiful color and I can't wait for you to try it.  There is something special about a blood orange.  They are juicy, sweet and everyone looks a little different.  This bunch of blood oranges, from Trader Joes, are much more red then others, so the blood orange glaze  turned out bright and more on the pinkish side.  The lighter shades of blood orange might change the color of your glaze.  Plain full fat yogurt or greek yogurt is your choice, but I loved the not to tart addition of plain yogurt and the crunch of pistachios (almonds are also a favorite) finish the Blood Orange Yogurt Cake perfectly!Blood Orange Yogurt Cake
