Notes:

Feel free to substitute caster sugar for Naturally Sweet Xylitol
If wish a healthier dessert, make sure your yogurt does not contain any sugar, fruit or natural added sugar as it is still sugar
For smoother consistency, I used hot water on the back of a spoon to remove any air bubbles and made the surface smooth for consistent baking.

Well, this is just about perfect! Avocado and yogurt (and chocolate!!) must make the best pound cake ever. I haven't known how to use xylitol in baking, so I am very glad to come across these recipes. Thank you!
