Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, granulated sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter as it can result in a dense cake.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
For an extra burst of lemon flavor, you can drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and lemon juice on top of the cooled cake.
-
Slice the Lemon Yoghurt Cake into wedges and serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
