Tip
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.

Great recipe, just what I was looking for......a large cake, easy to cut for school lunch boxes. Thanks for sharing.
This cake was so moist and delicious. Thank you for the recipe
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
