Mini Green Tea Yogurt Cakes

I’ve been trying to find things to do with my Nordic Ware Petits Fours Pan*.  So far a lot of the cakes I’ve baked with it just don’t come as cute as I want them to be.  The cakes shapes aren’t as sharp and well defined.  I think this pan probably works best for chocolate or jellos, but I don’t make a lot of either.

I decided to use the pan recently to make some mini green tea yogurt cakes.  These came out a bit better than the other cakes I made with this pan because the outside of the cakes turn a dark brown.  Previously I had been working with much lighter color batters.

The cakes still taste good and they remove from the pan easily, but presentation wise, it’s not my favorite pan.  Boyfriend loved the green tea yogurt cakes though. As my base, I used a recipe for Lemon Yogurt Cakes I found on My Kitchen Snippets.  I modified the recipe a bit, taking out the lemon and adding green tea.
