How to Make Lime Yogurt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, the zest of 2 limes, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1/2 cup vegetable oil until fully incorporated.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, prepare the lime syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup fresh lime juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear and slightly thickened (about 5 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the lime syrup evenly over the top.
- For the glaze: Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Pour glaze over the cooled cake and let it set.
