Watch Kit make it on The Kit's Kitchen Show!

Ingredients for the cake:

• 1 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour 

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• Pinch of salt

• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

• ½ cup well stirred whole milk yogurt  

• 1 cup sugar

• 3 large eggs

• ½ cup olive oil 

Ingredients for the icing:

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 6 tablespoons lemon juice (about two large lemons)

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 

• Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or cooking spray 

• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl or a stand mixer (my preference!)

• Blend well and pour into pan

• Bake for 25-35 minutes until the cake tester comes out clean. 

Do not over bake. 

• Make the icing while waiting by combining the sugar and lemon juice 

• Cool the cake for at least 15 minutes before pouring the icing on top and let it drip to the sides. Decorate as desired.
