I have plenty of lemons from the village. I'm expecting friends for a coffee gathering in the afternoon. What's better than a fresh, easy, quick, and aromatic light lemon cake? It's so easy that I won't even need a mixer, and by the time I finish writing this, it will be done!
Ingredients:
250g vegetable oil
250g eggs
250g 2% Greek yogurt
250g sugar
250g self-rising flour
100g fine semolina
Juice from one juicy lemon
Zest from one lemon
Topping:
150g powdered sugar
20g lemon juice
20g water Lemon zest
In a large bowl, start by mixing the liquid ingredients. Beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined. Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and mix well. Then add the semolina and self-rising flour. Grease the cake pan lightly and dust it with flour. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 50 minutes.
Once baked, let the cake cool. In a bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with lemon juice and water until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Then sprinkle lemon zest on top for added flavor and decoration.
Enjoy your delicious light lemon cake!
