Print Recipe

A delightful lemon yogurt cake that combines the tangy brightness of lemon with the moistness of yogurt, perfect for busy families.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.
  7. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better texture; cold ingredients can make mixing challenging. Consider adding a pinch of salt to the glaze for enhanced flavor.
