How to Make Lemon Yogurt Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a bundt pan (lightly coat with flour, tapping out excess).
In a large bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, 125ml vegetable oil, 200g caster sugar, and the zest of 1 large lemon until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 250ml plain yogurt, 250g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Gently fold the wet ingredients (yogurt mixture) into the dry ingredients (egg mixture), ensuring not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust generously with icing sugar and serve. Enjoy!
