you're making mealtime meaningful.
If you like a sweet and tangy combo, then you are going to love the baked good we have for you today. This Lemon Yogurt Loaf Cake is perfectly moist and super flavorful with tangy yogurt and lemon zest mixed into the batter. The recipe doesn’t skimp on the good stuff like butter and sugar either which makes for a texture reminiscent of pound cake… and we are a hundred percent here for it!
One of the best things about this recipe is that you likely have most of the ingredients on hand already! You’ll find the typical baking staples flour, sugar, butter, salt, and baking powder. Grab some yogurt and a lemon and you’re ready to whip up the batter. This hefty loaf cooks for a full 60 minutes. The wait may seem long, but the results are worth it! If the top of the loaf looks to be browning too much for your liking, cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes or so.
An elegant treat like this one begs to be paired with a good cup of coffee or some steaming tea. Drop a loaf off to your favorite neighbor or bring it for a dessert to your next get-together. Whether it’s for a special occasion or an everyday treat, this Lemon Yogurt Loaf is sure to impress!
