Hi Folks.
We shared this cake at a celebration last week at Newlands Primary and it went down a treat!
It is a very good use of the abundance of lemons around at the moment!!!
Ingredients:
2 lemons, rind, grated finely
1 cup (250ml) oil
2 eggs
1.5 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup natural yoghurt
3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 cups self raising flour
1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees and flour a 23cm cake tin.
2. Grate all the peel from the lemons into a mixing bowl. Add the oil, eggs and sugar, beat with a beater until thick and well blended.
3. Add the salt, yoghurt and lemon juice and beat again briefly to mix well. Fold in the flour.
4. Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30-40 minutes.
5. Leave to cool in tin for about 10 minutes before turning carefully out on to a cooling rack.
Enjoy!!!!
Does this need any sort of icing? And I have copious amounts of juice but no rind: what could I use instead? I'd like to serve this at dinner on Thursay night so any more advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Jo.
ReplyDeleteYou could use icing but I never have, I love it on it's own!
I have some lemons if you'd like some, they are from local trees then you could have the rind.
Cheers Mel.
thanks Mel: I will take you up on that and either call in late this afternoon or on way home from work tomorrow night: would you mind leaving a lemon in the letterbox if you're not home. x Jo
