Ingredients
Cake
125g butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar
Zest of 2 lemons
3 eggs
1 cup self raising flour (sifted)
200g pot of natural yoghurt
Drizzle
Juice of 2 (or 3) lemons
1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup caster sugar
Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Method
Cake
- Mix butter, sugar and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl using an electric beater. Mix well, until the mixture is pale and creamy.
- Beat in eggs, one at a time
- Add half the flour and mix in with a wooden spoon.
- Add the yoghurt and mix in with the wooden spoon.
- Add the rest of the flour and mix in
- Place in a greased loose based baking tin about 20-22cm in diameter
- Cook in a fan oven at 160°C for 45-50 mins
- Cool on a rack
Drizzle
- Juice the lemons and place the juice in a small bowl
- Add the icing sugar and mix well, then do the same with the caster the sugar
When the cake is cool turn out onto a plate. Use the underside (as it was baked) as the top, as the drizzle will soak into the cake better. Slowly cover the whole surface with the drizzle. Leave for a few hours before serving so that the drizzle has time to soak through and make the whole cake moist. If you have used a third lemon you may wish to use the zest too - sprinkle evenly over the cake to create an extra zesty finish
