Smart Cooking Tips
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
Step 1
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar together on medium-high speed until the mixture is light, fluffy, and has almost doubled in size.
Step 2
Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, yogurt, and oil, and gently mix until everything is combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 3
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then add them to the wet ingredients in two parts, folding gently each time to keep the batter airy.
Step 4
Pour the batter into a greased cake tin, sprinkle the almond petals on top, and use a spatula to make a shallow cut down the center.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Step 6
Let it cool slightly, then enjoy warm with a cup of tea or however you like. The fresh lemon flavor really shines through!
