How to Make Lemon Yogurt Cake With Lemon Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually beat in 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the zest and juice of 2 large lemons.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Gently fold in 1 cup plain Greek yogurt.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared bundt 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 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice for a thinner consistency, or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the top.
