Yummy Lemon Yoghurt Cake


The easiest & yummiest cake (or cupcakes) ever... I got this recipe from a good friend of mine Nicola, but think it came out of a Women's Day Mag.

Sue's Lemon Cake


Ingredients
1 cup natural yoghurt
3/4 cup oil (I use vegetable as olive oil may be too "heavy")
1 1/2 cups castor sugar (I use slightly less)
2 1/4 cups SR flour
3 eggs beaten
2 tspns grated lemon rind
1/3 cup lemon juice

Method
Grease & flour 24cm ring tin
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl
Bake for one hour at 160C
Stand 5 minutes
Dust with icing sugar

Doesn't get easier than that! ;)

**Option to bake as cupcakes instead of a cake. I sometimes double the mixture and make loads of cupcakes as they don't last long!**

**In my oven, the cupcakes take about 20 minutes**

This recipe is great for variations: my friend Andrea adds in blueberries from his garden into the mixture. You could even try making with orange rind/juice instead of lemons..

Delicious served warm with a dollop of fresh cream, or on their own with a good cup of tea :)
