Time 50m

Yield 1 loaf, 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 grated lemon zest (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 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 inches Cool.
  • For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.

I've made this cake several times, and it's always a hit. The lemon flavor is perfectly balanced, and the cake is always moist and fluffy.

The cake was a bit dry, but the lemon glaze helped to make it more moist.

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

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The lemon glaze on top of the cake is the perfect finishing touch. It adds a bit of sweetness and a beautiful shine.

I was a bit skeptical about using yogurt in a cake, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The yogurt gives the cake a lovely moist texture and a subtle tang that really complements the lemon flavor.

This lemon yogurt cake is absolutely divine! The texture is so moist and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the yogurt. I've made it twice now, and it's been a hit both times.
