    3. Return sugar to the mixing bowl and combine with butter 10 sec/speed 4.  


     


    4. With the blades running at speed 4 add the eggs one at a time (should take approx 15 seconds).


     


    5. Add yoghurt, and the juice of the lemon to the mixing bowl and combine 5 sec/speed 5.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat for 5 sec/speed 5.


     


    6. Add the flour and baking powder to the mixing bowl and combine for 10 sec/speed 4 with the aid of the spatula.

  4. Combine all of the icing ingredients in a bowl and mix until combined. Spoon or pour (depending on desired consistency) over the cooled cake.

You could also use limes in place of the lemon to create a lime yoghurt cake.  In the place of the 1 lemon, use the zest and juice of 2 limes - should give approximately 50g of juice.

    Not a fan I'm sorry, not happy I wasted all those ingredients. The texture was not light and fluffy but more dough-y and like it was undercooked even I cooked for extra time and the skewer came out clean, it started to brown on the edges. We found it tasted bland, whether my lemon wasn't big enough for a lemony hit. Sorry but I won't be making again, I think next time ill use a recipe with less yoghurt as I think that contributes to the texture.

    A great cake, thanks!

    A lovely moist lemony cake, great way to use up yoghurt. I used vanilla pot set yoghurt and it was great.

    Easy school cake, which uses up excess yoghurt.

    This is a great recipe which resulted in a lovely, moist cake with just enough hint of lemony flavour tmrc_emoticons.)
