Speaking of food, I tried your recipe last night, but added raspberry jam.
Results: it sat out overnight cooling, since it finished baking as I was preparing for bed. I think I could have baked it 15 minutes less (I split the batter between two loaf pans), and that would have made it more moist, but it's still quite tasty!
When adding the jam, I put teaspoon amounts over the batter at the end, and marbled it in. I think with raspberry, it would be great if I added lemon juice instead of the extract, and maybe grated some rind in. It still serves well though! Oh, I also added 1/4 cup brown sugar and reduced white sugar to 3/4 cup.
I've put the second one in the freezer, which will also make it more moist once it defrosts.
I think I would make it again though – the yogurt makes the pound cake healthier than one made with a full pound of butter.

Cute! But you're right, not recommended.
Also, being of a non-Canadian origin, I wonder how many people like Tim Horton's. Their cappuccino sucks.

LOL. I'm a sucker for fast food…. Something about it being cheap, convenient, somewhat tasty (craving-inducing more like) and my high metabolism means I'm suckered in a lot…. *Shrug* I'm not as bad as I was at one point, though!

I grew up in Canada, but their food and drinks.. are too sweet, too creamy and not complex enough for me if that makes sense.
Their apple cider for example (I don’t drink coffee at all), tastes too sweet. Nothing like REAL apple cider..

Oh good!
You got the same issue as me then. It wasn’t moist enough, and I felt like I overbaked :\
Marbled raspberry jam with lemon juice sounds heavenly. I want to search for more poundcakes and try different recipes until I found the perfect one
Freezing one sounds like a fab idea!!! And I suppose the yoghurt is why it isn’t as “moist” as it subs in for buttah

Haha. Tim Horton's is not known for being a place you go for a cappucino. Or a good coffee. I find them to be pretty much on par with McDonald's for coffee. Actually, McDonald's might even win that one. Scary. But they remain mysteriously popular, like a symbol of Canadianness, right along with hockey and Molson beer. Sigh.

I can’t drink any of them! Coffee just makes me so sick.
It’s ironic that Tim Horton’s is actually American now
I’m a Starbucks girl, tried and true.

Actually Tim Horton's is now shifting their corporate ownership back to Canada.
Personally, I prefer to buy good fair trade organic beans and make my own coffee, though if I must buy a cup of coffee I'll pick Timothy's, Starbucks or Second Cup. I'd rather remain caffeine deprived than drink Tim Horton's.

No kidding, I had no idea! Good for them.
I'm still a Starbucks girl. Even Timothy's or Second Cup is a no go for me.
I will say that William's (another coffee chain) has some KILLER food.
