Yogurt Lemon Cake With Lemon Glazing On Top

Cakes are something I have been always afraid of! But when I saw the famous Donna Hay baking a cake in a cookery show on TV, it looked just simple, delicious and easy to prepare. This recipe is one of those: you just have to get the measurements right, pop all the ingredients in, manually mix the cake batter and let it bake. Yes, people it’s that simple! If you don’t believe me, try it, and experience the joy of baking, because it was never this simple. Happy feasting everyone!

Required Ingredients:

      A)    For the cake:

1 tbsp lemon rind

1 cup yogurt

¾ cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 ¾ cups caster sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

3 tsp baking powder

      B)    For the glazing:

¾ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup lemon juice

Required Instructions:

A)    For the cake:

1.      Preheat the oven at 170 degree-celsius. Grease the cake tin with some oil.

2.      In a small bowl, sift all the dry ingredients: salt, flour and baking powder and keep it aside.

3.      In a large bowl, add in oil, eggs, lemon juice, yogurt and sugar. Whisk them to mix properly.  Now add all the dry ingredients in it and mix until smooth.

4.      Now, place the batter on the cake tin and bake it for 30 to 35 minute or until fully baked.

B)    For the glazing:

1.      Mix the sugar and lemon juice. Don’t over mix, as you don’t want the granules of sugar completely dissolved.

2.      Once, your cake is out of the oven, flip it on the serving plate after 3 to 4 minutes, and top the glazing while the cake is still HOT!

3.      Your cake is ready. Enjoy!

HAPPY FEASTS TO YOU ALL!
