Best 8 Yogurt Glaze Recipes

ORANGE FRENCH YOGURT CAKE WITH MARMALADE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 1/2- by 4 1/4- by 2 1/2-inch light-colored loaf pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Combine the melted butter, sugar, yogurt, oil, zest, vanilla and eggs in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Gradually whisk in the dry ingredients. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
• Place the pan on baking sheet on the middle rack and bake until the cake begins to pull away from the sides and a tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 50 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes before unmolding. Cut around the sides of the pan to loosen the cake, and then turn the cake out onto the rack. Turn the cake upright on the rack and cool completely.
• Stir together the marmalade and liqueur in a small saucepan over medium heat until the marmalade melts. Brush the hot mixture over the top of the cake. Let the glaze cool and set. Cut the cake crosswise into slices.

BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
• Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

FRENCH YOGURT CAKE WITH MARMALADE GLAZE

Steps:

• Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter an 8 1/2-x-4 1/2-inch loaf pan, place the pan on a lined baking sheet and set aside. Whisk together the flour, ground almonds, if you're using them, baking powder and salt and keep near by as well.
• Put the sugar and zest in a medium bowl and, working with your fingertips, rub the zest into the sugar until the sugar is moist and aromatic. Add the yogurt, eggs and vanilla to the bowl and whisk vigorously until the mixture is very well blended. Still whisking, stir in the dry ingredients, then switch to a large rubber spatula and fold in the oil. You'll have a thick, smooth batter with a slight sheen. Scrape the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
• Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake 35 to 40 minutes for the round cake or 50 to 55 minutes, or until the cake begins to come away from the sides of the pan; it will be golden brown and a knife inserted into the center of the cake will come out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack, cool for 5 minutes, then run a blunt knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold and cool to room temperature right-side up.
• To make the glaze: Put the marmalade in a small pot or a microwave-safe bowl, stir in the teaspoon of water and heat (on the range or in the microwave oven) until the jelly is hot and liquefied. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the cake with the glaze.

YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk together yogurt, vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before spreading on a cake or cupcakes.

GRAPEFRUIT-POPPY SEED LOAF CAKE WITH YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan, preferably metal, with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides, and lightly coat with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, and 3/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
• Using your fingers, work grapefruit zest into granulated sugar in a large bowl until sugar starts to clump and mixture is very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and thick, about 4 minutes. Reduce speed to low and mix in half of dry ingredients, then mix in 3/4 cup yogurt. Mix in remaining dry ingredients followed by 5 Tbsp. grapefruit juice and 1 Tbsp. poppy seeds. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
• Bake cake until top is golden brown and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack. Poke holes in top of cake and brush remaining 3 Tbsp. grapefruit juice over top. Let sit 15 minutes, then run a knife around sides to loosen and use parchment paper to lift cake out of pan and onto rack. Remove parchment and let cool completely.
• Whisk powdered sugar, remaining 1 Tbsp. yogurt, 1 tsp. water, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth and drizzle over cake. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and let sit until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.
• Do Ahead
• Loaf can be baked and glazed 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH GREEK YOGURT GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or grease it with butter.
• Grate the zucchini with a box grater set over paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. Cover the grated zucchini with more towels and press down on the towels with the palms of your hands to extract additional moisture. Set aside.
• Combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips to infuse the sugar with the lemon. Set aside.
• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl.
• Add the eggs, oil, 1/4 room temperature yogurt and 2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract to the bowl with the lemon sugar and whisk to combine.
• Using your hands, squeeze the zucchini again to remove as much moisture as possible. Add the zucchini to the wet ingredients and fold to combine with a rubber spatula. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold everything together until just combined. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, the loaf springs back if you press a fingertip down on the top and the loaf pulls away slightly from the sides of the pan, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Whisk together the lemon juice, remaining 2 tablespoons yogurt, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl until combined. Add up to 1/2 cup more of the confectioners' sugar if needed to create a thick glaze that leaves ribbons behind when whisked.
• Remove the cake from the pan and slice the cake while it's still hot and dollop and spread with glaze, or wait for the cake to cool completely, remove from the pan and place the loaf top-side down. Spoon the glaze over the loaf. Enjoy!

LEMON YOGURT MINI-BUNDT CAKES WITH LIMONCELLO GLAZE RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Liberally coat with baking spray, or thoroughly grease and flour, pans for 12 mini-bundts, or 24 cupcakes. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In another small bowl, stir together the yogurt and the milk just until smooth. In a stand mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar, and lemon zest for about 5 minutes, until smooth and light. Stop to scrape the bowl periodically. Add in the eggs one a time, still at medium speed, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Mix well after each egg. On low speed, add in the flour mixture alternately with the yogurt in three additions. Mix just until incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes more, until the entire mixture is smooth and light. Add in 3 Tbsp. of the lemon juice and 1 Tbsp. of the limoncello. Blend just until evenly mixed, no more than 30 seconds. Portion the batter evenly into your pan(s); smooth the top of the batter. Bake until the center of each cake springs back when pressed lightly with a finger, and a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean. This will be about 15 minutes for mini-bundts or cupcakes (if making minis or cupcakes, don't wait for the exposed part of the cake to look golden brown; golden around the edges is enough). If you've made the cake in mini-bundt pans, let them cool for about 10 minutes before inverting the pans onto a cooling racks to remove the cakes. If you've baked cupcakes, give them no more than about five minutes in their pans before carefully removing to a cooling rack. To make the glaze: mix the confectioners' sugar, 2 Tbsp. of lemon juice and 3 Tbsp. of limoncello in a small bowl and stir until any lumps are completely gone. If you'd like the glaze thicker, just stir in a bit more confectioners' sugar until it's the texture you prefer. To apply the glaze, place the cooled cake(s) on a cooling rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze liberally over each cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the icing set for about 15 minutes before moving the cakes. If you like, serve each cake topped with a little unsweetened whipped cream and some lemon zest curls.
