Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup neutral cooking oil (vegetable, canola, avocado, etc)
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Butter a 9-inch round cake pan, and line with parchment paper, if desired.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs, and lemon zest together well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
  5. Bake the cake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 30-35 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes.
  6. While the cake is cooling, sift the powdered sugar into a bowl. Add the lemon juice and whisk until combined. It will be thin.
  7. Turn the cake out of the cake pan, then place it on a serving platter or a plate. Take the glaze and pour it over the cake, allowing it to soak into the cake.
  8. Serve the cake topped with powdered sugar, berries, whipped cream, or even just plain!
