One More Lemon Cake



One more lemon cake, this time with oil and yogurt.

Truth be told, I like the buttery pound cake version more. Maybe because I overstirred at the end to incorporate the oil, maybe it's the low-fat yogurt (the only type I can find), maybe butter really is better.

It looks very much like Nigella's version here, except I used the yogurt to make a little icing (just whip in some icing sugar).


Gateau au Yourt (Yogurt Cake, don't you love how everything sounds so chic in French?)

1/2 tub plain yogurt
1 tub castor sugar
1/2 tub oil
zest from 2 lemons
2 tubs plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg


Combine the yogurt, sugar and egg.

Stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Bake at 170 degrees for 20 minutes (in a mini bundt pan, longer if you make one cake).


For the icing:
The rest of the yogurt
1/4 cup icing sugar

Whip the yogurt and sugar together, chill to thicken.
