How to Make Lemon Yoghurt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12 ½ cup bundt or tube pan.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and yogurt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  6. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
  8. Gradually fold in a third of the egg whites, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. **Glaze:** In a bowl, sift the powdered sugar.
  12. Gradually add the lemon juice, stirring until smooth.
  13. Add yogurt, a spoonful at a time, until you reach desired consistency.
  14. Once the cake is completely cool, place it on a serving plate and pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to set.
