Our cake was pretty moist straight from the oven as I remember, although we didn't have a slice left the next day to compare with... I'll have to try making Isa's cake some time soon!

I don't know why it turns out so different, even though the batter/dough has the same consistency and taste. It contains less fat and yoghurt, though. We used Alpro's raspberry yoghurt in this one and the batter tasted faintly of raspberry, but the final product did not. The fruit layer was great, I just wished there were much more of it! Though the crumb topping suffered from storage, I'd say the cake was better the next day and the following days, because it absorbed moisture from the fruit layer.

Hmm, I just snapped the banner picture and Heikki did the rest - he can be a computer wizard sometimes so I'm not sure what exactly... But I'll ask him to e-mail or leave you a comment and explain! There aren't terribly many vegans in Finland, and Finns generally think that living without dairy products isn't healthy. But veganism is getting more popular each day, I like to think!

Maija - sure, canola oil would be fine too! I just made this at the cottage with margarine the first time, and the consistency was so nice that I didn't want to change anything. I'm not really sure what would sub for rhubarb, it's such a unique flavor! Something very acidic, I suppose... Why not lingonberries or cranberries? Alice - I completely agree!

So far my favorite cake in the world is raspberry chocolate blondie bars from VWAV and I believe the cake is probably so heavenly mainly because of soy yoghurt. I'd assume you could use canola oil instead of margarine. At least Isa always uses oil. It would be slightly healthier that way.
