Yogurt Lemon Cake



 

Ethan likes the yogurt chocolate cake. We already have enough chocolate cake for his birthday cake. Therefore we try to venture into this Yogurt lemon cake. According to the orginal recipe, it used 1 1/2 cup sugar in the batter, for the glaze it used another 1 cup of sugar. I feel that will be too sweet for us so, I am here tried to reduce it sugar. This cake does not required to whisk the egg white seperately it do mean will not easy go wrong with the cake. So this is kids friendly too! These boys really like flour and mix thing; mix flours, mix colors, mix eggs, mix water, mix sands, whatever mix there can do...  And here we go our mix...

 

 

The cake comes a little sour ^^ probably was I tried to reduce the sugar in the cake. But after a little bit of sour bite, the fragrant of lemon remained in the mouth. It gives a plus point to this very moist yogurt lemon cake. Our tea time, our morning breakfast!

 

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
80g cups sugar, divided
3 eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

 

For the glaze:

10g sugar
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 170c. Grease loaf pan.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.

 

Meanwhile, cook the lemon juice and 10g sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.

 

When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan.  For the glaze, while the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
