Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola, grapeseed)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  • Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest together. (To make the lemon flavor shine, try using your fingers to rub the zest into the sugar until the sugar is moist and fragrant.)

  • Step 3: Add the eggs and whisk until pale yellow and light.

  • Step 4: Add the yogurt and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.

  • Step 5: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt; whisk just until batter is smooth.

  • Step 6: Use a rubber spatula to fold the oil into the batter; the cake batter will look glossy once you’re done.

  • Step 7: Pour the batter into a greased 1 lb. loaf pan and bake the cake for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

  • Step 8: Turn the cake out onto a wire cooling rack and allow it to cool before serving.
