Fluffy lemon yogurt loaf cake (an easy homemade dessert)
Ingredients (one standard loaf tin)
A light loaf cake with a bright lemon flavour and a fine texture from the yogurt – a simple dessert that goes perfectly with coffee or tea.
3 mountain eggs
180 g of sugar
200 g yogurt (full-fat or medium-fat)
80 ml oil
250 g flour
1 sachet of baking powder
Grated zest from 1 lemon
1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
Steps
Beat the eggs with the sugar
Mix the eggs with the sugar until they become slightly light in color and foamy.
Incorporate the liquid ingredients
Add the yogurt, oil, vanilla and lemon zest, mixing gently.
Add the dry ingredients
Sift the flour together with the baking powder and gradually incorporate them, mixing with a spatula.
Bake the cake
Pour the mixture into a lined cake tin and bake for 35–40 minutes at 170–175 °C (test with a toothpick).
Let it cool
Remove the cake from the pan after a few minutes and let it cool on a wire rack. You can dust it with powdered sugar or glaze it with lemon.
