Description

A light and moist lemon loaf cake made with Greek yogurt, perfect for tea or coffee.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
  4. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients; fold gently until just mixed.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Notes

Allow eggs and yogurt to reach room temperature before mixing. For added texture, try incorporating poppy seeds or chopped nuts.
