Barefoot Contessa's Lemon Yogurt Cake image

Another wonderful recipe from Ina Garten. On her show she also made Recipe #205904. This cake is similar to a pound cake in texture, but it's also very moist, lemony and wonderful!

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated (zest of 2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 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 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set the lemon syrup aside.
  • When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar syrup over the cake and allow it to soak inches Cool.
  • For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.

This cake is too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I thought the lemon flavor was a bit too strong. Next time, I'll use less lemon zest.
