Lemon Yogurt Cake

This is a dense and moist citrusy cake. Beside adding lemon zests into the batter, it is drenched with lemon-sugar syrup while is still warm making it really moist and lemony. I've omitted the glazing as I wanted it plain and simple. It tasted great with along a cup of hot herbal tea, a great way to relax for a while when the kids are having their noon nap :D 




Ingredient
  • 180gm plain flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 250ml plain yogurt
  • 200gm castor sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp grated lemon zests
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 120ml vegetable oil
  • 45ml fresh lemon juice

Method
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, 150gm sugar, eggs, zest and vanilla and mix well.
  2. Sift over dry ingredients and fold till well incorporated.
  3. Lastly add in oil and mix well.
  4. Pour batter into a lined 8" x 5" pan and bake in preheated oven at 180 deg cel for 45-50mins or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  5. Meanwhile, dissolve remaining 50gm sugar with lemon juice over low heat till sugar is well dissolved. Set aside.
  6. When the cake is done, cool in pan for 10mins. Remove the cake and place on a rack over a baking pan. While the cake is still warm, slowly pour the lemon-sugar syrup evenly over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool completely before slicing.
