Lemon Yogurt Loaf Cake

Course: Dessert
Keyword: Cake, Lemon
Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 360 g plain yogurt
  • zest from two lemons
  • 4 eggs
  • 170 g melted butter
  • 250 g flour
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 250 g powdered sugar
  • lemon juice from 2 lemons

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 165 C. Prepare two loaf pans by buttering and flouring them, or by lining them with baking paper.
  • Mix together the melted butter, yogurt, eggs, and lemon zest.
  • Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt and gently fold together until you have a smooth batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans.
  • Bake the loafs for 40 - 50 minutes. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean when done. Let cool on a wire rack before removing them from the pan to glaze.

Make Glaze

  • Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice and mix until smooth. The consistency should be thick enough to stick to the top of the cake, but not so thin it can't be drizzled. Add more sugar or lemon juice as needed to get the right consistency.
  • Pour glaze over cooled loaf cakes.
  • Slice and serve.
