My second day in 'Cooking with Alphabet'..Today it is 'L'. If you think of L, the first thing which comes to your mind is LEMON. 
 
"AHEM  L for LEMON"
 
So lets makes some Lemon Custard!!!
 
Hmmm..May be some Lemon Curd or some Lemon Chicken!!!

Hmmm Still thinking!!!
 
OK LETS DO LEMON YOGURT CAKE..AHA..
 
When I saw this cake first, I decided that this is going to on my next baking list. And one fine day I baked it too..It was a lovely time when I baked, it was raining out heavily,,But I had this yummy lemony cake baking my oven..I had no patience to wait till the cake is done..It smelled so heavenly..The lemony aroma spread all over our house..

How to Make Lemon Yogurt Cake with Citrus Lemon Icing

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 Degree C / 360 Degree F. Butter a pan and dust it with flour.
  2. Take flour, baking soda, baking powder in a sieve and sift it well.
  3. Take butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and mix well. Beat till fluffy.
  4. Add in eggs and beat again till fluffy and airy.
  5. Add in lemon juice, lemon zest and yogurt and mix well.
  6. Add in the flour mixture and combine well.
  7. Pour this in the prepared tin and bake it for 40-45 mins till the cake is done..Insert a skewer and check.
  8. Let it cool down. Invert it to a plate.
  9. Prepare the icing. Mix icing sugar, lemon juice and milk till you reach a nice consistency. Add lemon zest it and mix well.
  10. Pour this icing on top of the cake.
  11. Slice and Serve.
Even if you are a first time baker, I can promise you cannot go wrong in this cake. This cake turned out to be so soft and moist. I dredged it with a lemony icing which made it even more special..But you don't have to do it.You can keep it plain and simple too.
 
Hope you love it and tell me what you think..I am sending this recipe to Blogging Marathan Day 2 with the theme 'Cooking with Alphabets'.

    Thanks for your reply Arthi.. In this recipe, you used butter.. So I can use 4oz of oil instead of butter...i think that's what you meant..

    Reply

  25. Aarthi

    @Rosesorry that was a typo. You cannot use oil. Since butter has be whipped till creamy. it gives the softness to the cake
