A couple of you (TM) asked for the glaze recipe I use - turns out it isn't with yogurt but with cream cheese - for the angel food cake with the strawberry yogurt glaze. (by the way, I'll now have to try it using vanilla yogurt & see what I can create. I bet something wonderful can be created with the yogurt, strawberries & such) I generally bake a store box cake & use the following recipe as a glaze.
Glaze:
Beat cream cheese, mashed strawberries and vanilla in small bowl until blended. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until blended then spoon over cake.
I use a low fat (not non-fat) cream cheese; at times I use almond extract instead of vanilla. If I'm feeling daring I'll shred bits of dark chocolate on the cake before I use on the glaze. I've been known to use raspberries instead but generally will have to increase the amount of powdered sugar.
Good luck & enjoy.
