Reminds me of a co-worker, years ago, who says he made a French Silk Pie using the recipe I gave him but it didn’t turn out like mine did.

When questioned, he admitted to substituting liquid chocolate for real chocolate, margarine for butter, and whipped topping for whipped cream. What he made was not French Silk Pie.

Maybe you can make a Yogurt Cake instead.
