Yield Makes one 8-inch Bundt

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup fruity olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1 cup cane sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons Meyer lemon zest
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped (save the pod to infuse tea blends)
1/4 cup cane sugar
1/2 Meyer lemon, seeds removed, thinly sliced
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon low-fat Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously brush an 8-inch Bundt pan with oil and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flours, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until combined. Add oil, yogurt, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds. Add dry ingredients into wet ones and mix until just barely incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan before unmolding.
  • Make the topping: In a small saucepan, bring cane sugar and 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add lemon slices and gently simmer until rind is transparent, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and let cool.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, oil, yogurt, and 2 teaspoons water until smooth. If too thick, adjust with a little more water.
  • Spoon topping over cake and top with drained lemon slices.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake is a bit more dense than I expected, but it's still very good. The lemon flavor is really nice, and the crumb topping adds a nice crunch.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was way too strong. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the cake itself was very moist and flavorful.

This cake is so moist and fluffy! The yogurt and lemon give it a really nice tanginess that I love. I also love the crunchy streusel topping.

I love how easy this cake is to make! I didn't have any Meyer lemons on hand, so I used regular lemons instead. The cake still turned out great, with a bright and flavorful lemon taste.

This Meyer lemon yogurt cake was a delightful treat! The tangy citrus flavor perfectly complemented the richness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the sugar. The cake was moist and tender, with a beautiful golden crust. I served it with fresh berrie
