Lemon cake

Preparation mode

• Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a cake tin with butter and flour.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well and set aside.
• In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until you obtain a creamy mixture.
• Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add the lemon juice and zest to the mixture and mix until combined.
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the yogurt. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, prepare the lemon frosting. In a bowl, mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice until you get a homogeneous coating.
• Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then, turn out the cake onto a serving plate.
• Drizzle the cake with lemon icing while it is still warm. Bake with a second layer of topping if desired.
• Let the cake cool completely before cutting and serving.
