Greek Yoghurt Cake image

This is really a great cake. For some reason, I'm partial to it cold, straight out of the fridge, with a glass of ice-cold milk.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 lb butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
6 egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated lemon, zest of
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 fluid ounces brandy
1 cup Greek yogurt (if this is unavailable, use sour cream)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
6 egg whites
1 cup chopped toasted almond
2 cups sugar
3 cups water
1/2 cup honey
1 lemon, zest of (in one long piece)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (from a real lemon, please)

Steps:

  • Boil all of syrup ingredients together first to make syrup (10 minutes- remove zest).
  • It must be cool before being poured onto hot cake.
  • Beat butter with 1 1/2 cups sugar till creamy and light-coloured (about 5 minutes).
  • Add yolks, peel, extract and brandy and beat until pale and thick.
  • Sift dry ingredients and add alternately to the creamed mixture with the yoghurt.
  • Beat whites until stiff and glossy.
  • Fold into batter mixture along with almonds.
  • Pour into a buttered 13 x 9 x 2" baking dish and bake at 350F for 60-70 minutes or until done.
  • Check cake after about 25 minutes of baking. If the colour is already dark enough (as is the case for me), cover with a piece of aluminum foil and continue baking.
  • Pour cooled syrup over hot cake and allow cake to cool completely.
  • Cut into diamond-shaped pieces and serve.
