    Taste and Occasion

    I love making bundt cake recipes anyway. This one is made with cake batter, unlike the traditional bundt cake made with yeast dough. Since the lemon cake is made with oil instead of butter, the preparation differs slightly from the classic one with cake batter. But the result - as with eggnog cake - is also exceptionally moist and fluffy.

    Unfortunately, yogurt cake sometimes has the characteristic of being somehow soggy or firm. This recipe is different. The important thing for the right consistency is to beat the eggs and sugar until they are frothy. And be sure to use fresh lemon juice and lemon zest for the lemon yogurt bundt cake! The popular lemon concentrate from small plastic bottles sometimes has an unpleasant aftertaste in this dosage. If you want to keep it simple and finish it quickly, dust the lemon yogurt cake only with powdered sugar after cooling. Otherwise, a lemon glaze with powdered sugar tastes good, too (as with the classic lemon cake).

    How to make the Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake

    First of all, preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C. Grease a small pan (approx. 7-8 in / 18-20 cm diameter) and dust with flour.

    Now, beat the eggs with the sugar for a few minutes. Add the oil with yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Mix flour with baking powder and stir in briefly. Then, pour the dough into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. Let cool, turn out, and decorate with lemon icing as desired.

    Recipe Recommendation

    Low-Fat Moist Carrot Cake

    This carrot cake is not only low in fat and calories, but also extra fruity and moist, thanks to pineapple in the dough. This is how a good healthy carrot cake can taste!

    For a slightly different alternative, use orange juice. Or coat the yogurt cake with a white chocolate coating and sprinkle with grated lemon zest. Since I especially like to bake tiny cakes, this recipe is also designed for a litte pan. If you have a larger pan, I would use at least a third more of all the ingredients, possibly half.
