Do you have a favorite lemon yogurt cake recipe to post? *I want to

Lemon Yogurt Cake

1 loaf

Prep Time: * 20 min * * Inactive Prep Time: * 10 min * * * *
Cook Time: * *50 min * *Level: * *Easy

Ingredients

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

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. *Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2
1/2-inch loaf pan. *Line the bottom with parchment paper. *Grease and
flour the pan.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. *In
another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the 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 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup 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.

still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to
soak in. *Cool.

For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and
pour over the cake.

that's unusual!)
