Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (plain flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 lemon zest ((ie from 1 lemon))
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or other plain oil eg safflower, canola)
  • 1/4 cup lemon olive oil (or additional vegetable oil)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350F/175C. Lightly oil and line a standard loaf pan (8 1/2" x 4 1/4").
  • Combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl and whisk together.
  • In a large bowl, rub the lemon zest in to the sugar in to help it release the oils. You should get patches that become slightly moist.
  • Add the yogurt, eggs and vanilla to the lemony sugar and whisk until blended.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture as well and mix in.
  • Pour in the oil(s) and blend until combined.
  • Pour the batter into the lined loaf pan and smooth off the top.
  • Bake for approx 50-55 minutes until the loaf is golden on top and a skewer comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool around 5 minutes before loosening from the pan and carefully taking the loaf out. Continue to cool in a cooling rack.
