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.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
3 extra-large eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.
  • When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
  • For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for this cake. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Zest the lemons finely. Finely zesting the lemons will help to release the oils and flavor of the lemons into the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • 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 glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Serve the cake at room temperature. This will allow the flavors of the cake to shine through.

Conclusion:

This lemon yogurt cake with lemon glaze is a delicious and refreshing cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the lemon glaze adds a perfect touch of sweetness and tartness. If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make lemon cake, this recipe is a great choice.
