Time 55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the cake
1 cup vegetable oil, canola oil, or olive oil, plus more for coating the pan
3 cups (384 grams) all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
1/4 cup finely grated lemon zest (from about 4 medium lemons)
4 large eggs
2 cups (452 grams) plain whole-milk yogurt (regular or Greek)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (optional)

Steps:

  • Arrange oven rack, preheat the oven, prepare Bundt pan: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with olive oil. Dust with 2 tablespoons of the flour and tap out any excess; set aside.
  • Mix sugar and lemon zest together: Place the sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the sugar is moist and the mixture is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add wet ingredients to the sugar: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the sugar and lemon zest and whisk vigorously until pale yellow and frothy, about 1 minute. Whisk in the yogurt, olive oil, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients: To the bowl with the wet ingredients, whisk in the baking powder and kosher salt. Add the flour and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined and all the flour is incorporated. (A few small lumps in the batter are fine, be sure to not overmix.)
  • Transfer to prepared pan and bake: Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly. Bake until the cake is lightly browned and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs, about 45 minutes.
  • Cool the cake and release from Bundt pan: Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully flip it out of the pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.
  • Make the glaze, drizzle and serve: Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle the top with lemon zest, if desired. Let stand for at least 10 minutes to allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

YOGURT CAKE



Yogurt Cake image

This Turkish yogurt cake, adapted from the cookbook "Claudia Roden's Mediterranean," is similar to a lemon-scented cheesecake, but it's lighter and has a fresher, tangier flavor. It's good both warm and cold, either on its own or topped with berries that have been macerated in a pinch or two of sugar. Make sure to use whole milk Greek yogurt or another thick, strained variety here, or the texture won't be as creamy.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Butter, for greasing the pan
4 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 2/3 cups/400 grams whole-milk Greek yogurt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Pinch of salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees and butter an 8- or 9-inch springform pan.
  • Using an electric hand mixer or a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-low until the mixture looks frothy, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly start to increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl but using the same mixer, combine yolks and sugar (no need to wash beaters after the egg white). Beat yolks on medium-high until the mixture is very pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and gradually beat in flour, yogurt, lemon zest and juice, and salt until fully incorporated.
  • Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolk-yogurt mixture until only a few streaks remain. Fold in the remaining whites, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl, until the batter is evenly mixed, light and smooth.
  • Scrape the batter into prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until the top is speckled with golden brown and puffed, 40 to 55 minutes. (The 8-inch pan will take longer to bake through.) Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cake cool before cutting. Serve warm or cold.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest: This will give the cake the best flavor.
  • Dust the cake pan with flour before adding the batter: This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This lemon yoghurt cake is a moist, flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its bright lemon flavor and tangy yoghurt frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit!
