Adapted from Amen. Let's Eat! If you really like the lemony taste use lemon yogurt, if not use the plain but it must be the whole milk yogurt or it will come out goopy . I like this with a cold tall drink garnished with sprigs of mint as an afternoon snack, creamy-smooth and refreshingly delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 tsp baking powder shopping list
- ½ tsp salt shopping list
- 1 cup lemon or plain whole-milk yogurt shopping list
- 1 1/3 cups sugar, divided shopping list
- 3 extra large eggs shopping list
- 2 tsp grated lemon zest (skin of 2 lemons) shopping list
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract shopping list
- ½ cup vegetable oil shopping list
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice shopping list
- ------------- shopping list
- glaze shopping list
- ------------- shopping list
- 1 cup icing sugar shopping list
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 ½” x 4 1/14” x 2 ½” loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into one bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla.
- Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it’s all incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining ½ cup of sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear.
- When the cake is done, allow it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully remove and place it on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
- For the glaze, combine the icing sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.
- That's it! Enjoy!
