Introduce your children to baking with these super-simple, fruity sponge cakes. Forget the faff that comes with weighing out ingredients - all the quantities for this recipe are measured using the pot from your natural yoghurt. Light and fluffy, with dried fruit and a zing of fresh lemon, these cakes are perfect when you're feeling peckish.

Ingredients
150g (small pot) natural yogurt
1 small yogurt pot of caster sugar
3 small yogurt pots of self-raising flour
1 small yogurt pot of sunflower oil
3 eggs, lightly beaten
½ small yogurt pot of sultanas
Zest of 1 unwaxed lemon

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°/gas mark 4. Line a fairy cake tray with cases.

2. Pour the pot of natural yogurt into a bowl. Rinse and dry the pot and use it to measure out the sugar, flour and oil into the bowl.

3. Add the eggs and mix everything together until you have a light batter, then tip in the sultanas and lemon zest and fold into the mixture.

4. Spoon the batter into the cake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown on top.

5. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool before eating them all up.
