Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Turmeric

-eggs -full-fat yogurt -extra virgin olive oil -lemon juice and zest -granulated sugar -all-purpose flour -baking powder -ground turmeric -salt -pinch of black pepper

ingredients You'll need

To a bowl, add eggs, olive oil, yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice. You can use more or less lemon zest depending on your taste.

step 1

Mix well until creamy and no chunks of yogurt or egg remain. To a smaller bowl, mix the dry ingredients- flour, salt, baking powder, turmeric, and black p.

step 2

Sift the dry ingredients into the wet and mix using a rubber spatula. Don't overmix! Small clumps of flour are okay.

step 3

Pour the cake batter into a bread loaf lined with parchment paper and bake for 45-50 minutes. Halfway through, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

step 4

Insert a toothpick in the center of the cake, and if it comes out clean, it's ready. Take it out of the oven. Let it cool completely on a cooling rack.

step 5

Mix powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of lemon juice and drizzle over the cake. Let it set for 5 minutes, then serve!

step 6

Use a scale! Measuring cups are not as accurate as using a scale is and with baking, you really want to be as precise as possible for the best results.

tip!

You can serve this cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream on top. It's delicious served with tea or coffee.
