Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized eggs
- 100 grams (⅔ cup) icing sugar
- 100 grams (½ cup) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams (1 cup) Greek yogurt
- 130 grams (¾ cup) corn oil
- 2 medium-sized lemons juiced and zested juice should be about 80 ml
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 300 grams (3 + ⅙ cups) oat flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160 / 320°F.
- Grease a loaf pan (9 x 5-inch 23 x 13) with cooking spray or butter.
- In a mixing bowl combine together with a whisk the eggs, both types of sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until eggs get a little bit foamy.
- Then mix in the oil. Once the oil is fully incorporated, mix in the Greek yogurt.
- Add the lemon juice and zest as well as the baking soda and baking powder. Again give it a vigorous stir with the whisk.
- Then add the oat flour in batches. Once fully incorporated transfer the cake batter to the loaf pan.
- Bake for about 1 hour. If your oven is too strong and the cake gets too much color you may drop the temperature to 150°C / 302°F. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake and see if it comes out clean.
