Lazy Yoghurt Cake with Lemon Drizzle Topping

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pot of natural yogurt about 125mls-ish
  • 2 pots of self raising flour
  • 1 pot of white sugar
  • Half a pot of mild olive oil or vegetable as it's cheaper :
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon

For the crunchy lemon topping

  • 50 g 2 oz or tbsp granulated sugar
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven t0 180 degrees and grease a 1lb (450g) loaf tin. I use those greaseproof paper liners as they are dead easy to get out, the cake can be given as a ready wrapped gift, and there is even less washing up.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then tip in the yoghurt, oil and eggs. Stir into a smooth batter, pour into the prepared tin and bake for 35 to 40 mins until golden and cooked through.
  • While the cake is still warm, poke lots of little holes into it with a cocktail skewer, then mix the lemon juice and granulated sugar together and pour over the top.
  • Lovely with either a cup of English Breakfast tea or an artisan tisane francaise :D
