Lemon yoghurt cake

The funny cake: it tastes like yeast cake but there is no yeast in it! Extremely aromatic, full of fresh lemon juice and nicely moist. Perfect with the sun outside.

The recipe from Ina Garten.


Ingredients
1 ½ cups wheat flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup greek yoghurt
1 1/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
lemon zest
½ cup oil
1/3 cup lemon juice

Method

Spoon the batter to lined cake pan, bake for about 50 min, at 180 oC (350 F) . In a pot boil (for about 5 min.) syrup made with 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup lemon juice.
