Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until well combined. Gradually add the sugar while continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth and the sugar is fully incorporated.
  3. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve plain or dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor.
  • You can adjust the sugar amount according to your sweetness preference.
  • Lemon zest adds vibrant citrus aroma; avoid the white pith as it is bitter.
  • This cake is naturally gluten-free and pairs beautifully with fresh berries or whipped cream.
