Time 1h20m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees 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 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 mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
  • For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick: When the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This lemon yogurt pound cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a bright lemon flavor that is balanced by the tanginess of the yogurt. The frosting is rich and creamy, and it complements the cake perfectly. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
