French Yogurt Cake

This French Yogurt Cake is a classic: with a tender and springy texture, and a light, not-too-sweet flavor scented with lemon zest, it’s perfect as a light dessert, or alongside a coffee in the morning.
Ingredients-
- 2 cups (267g) all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (220g) granulated white sugar
- Zest of two lemons
- 1 cup (225g) full fat greek yogurt (at room temperature)
- 3 eggs (at room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- ½ cup (125ml) neutral oil (such as avocado, canola, etc)
- Softened or melted butter, for greasing the pan
Directions-
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C, and prepare your ¶àÀֵ羺 Modern Classics Loaf Dish by greasing it with softened or melted butter.Ìý
- In a small bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Rub the zest into the sugar until it is fully combined and fragrant, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a larger bowl, whisk together the sugar and zest mixture, yogurt, eggs, both extracts, and the oil until smooth and fully emulsified. In 2 or 3 additions, add the dry ingredients, taking care to get rid of any lumps without overmixing.
- Once smooth, pour the batter into the prepared Loaf Dish and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, and the cake is golden brown, domed on top, and well risen. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the Loaf Dish and cooling further on a wire rack.
- Enjoy!
