Yoghurt and Lemon Cake - Secret Recipe


Yoghurt and Lemon Cake

I love this cake - seriously you're lucky i'm sharing it. 
So keep it to yourself ok  :)


¾ cup Castor Sugar
60ml Coconut Oil
2 Eggs Separated
300g Greek Yoghurt
1 Lemon grated zest 
 1 ½ cup Self Raising Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 tablespoon Desiccated Coconut


 
Using a mixer beat together the Coconut Oil and Sugar and then add egg yolks one at a time mixing in well.









Add in the Lemon zest and yoghurt.

Slowly mix in the Flour, Baking Soda & Coconut.

In a separate small bowl whisk the egg whites until they become soft peaks  and then fold into the cake batter. 

Pour into cake pan. I tend to use a Bundt tin


Cook at 160- 180 Celsius fan forced for about 1hr 10min.  I think sometimes the seasonal changes in the yoghurt can affect the timings as well as the differences in ovens so about an hour.







Icing:  Icing sugar and lemon juice and a little colouring. pending on the consistency you are after.

  9. Sluuuuurp!! That looks awesome. I've tried Donna Hay's version but think it's too sickly sweet... well, it's good but I'd been thinking I must try to adapt it. This looks fab though... bookmarking!

  10. I'm not a big cake eater but this makes my mouth water! I love the addition of the greek yoghurt. Is it possible for these things to "fall"?
