A light, fragrant homemade cake that combines the softness of yogurt with the freshness of lemon. It is simple enough to mix in one bowl and put straight in the oven, and makes a refreshing treat alongside tea.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the wet ingredients

7 min

Whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add the yogurt, oil, grated lemon zest and lemon juice, then mix.

2

Add the dry ingredients

5 min

Sift in the flour and baking powder. Mix until you have a smooth, pourable batter with no lumps.

3

Bake

35 min

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for about 35 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4

Cool and serve

3 min

Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar, slice and serve.

Reminder

When zesting the lemon, use only the yellow part; the white pith tastes bitter. Contains gluten (wheat), egg and milk (yogurt). Slice the cake after it has cooled.
