Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Line a 22 x 12cm loaf tin with baking paper.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the lemon zest and vanilla.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the bowl if necessary.
- With the mixer on low, add the yoghurt and flour in 2 or three parts and mix briefly until just combined. You could do this by hand. Ensure that you do not over mix
- Put the batter into the lined loaf tin and spread it to the edges evenly.
- Bake for 40 – 45 minutes and until it is golden brown and firm to the touch. You will know it’s done when a sharp knife or skewer or knife is inserted into the centre, and it comes out clean.
- If the top colours are too much during baking, loosely cover the cake with foil.
- Mix the drizzle ingredients. When the cake comes out of the oven, poke it all over with a sharp knife or skewer. Brush the drizzle over the cake, allowing it to absorb.
- Remove the cake from the tin after 10 minutes and allow it to cool completely on a rack.
- Once it is completely cool, make the lemon icing and spread it on the cake. Allow some of it to drizzle down the edges.
Notes
- Add the drizzle to the cake while it is still hot and in the loaf tin.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the lemon glaze. This will harden as it dries.
- Store the cake in a sealed container or cake tin
