Number Of Ingredients 13

GLAZE:
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 lemon juice, freshly squeezed

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 (Don't skip this). 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.

This cake is perfect for a summer party or picnic. It's light and refreshing, and the lemon flavor is a nice change from the usual chocolate or vanilla cakes.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover yogurt. It's also a nice and easy dessert to make for a weeknight meal.

This cake is definitely not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the texture is dry and crumbly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dense. It was still edible, but it wasn't very good.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I hoped. It was still good, but not as good as I expected.

This lemon yogurt cake is a delightful treat! The texture is moist and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the yogurt. I love that it's not too heavy, making it a great option for breakfast or a light dessert.
