Lemon Yogurt Cake

Nothing similar, I just make Ina Garten's Lemon Yogurt Cake. It's a go-to recipe in our house - we are all lemon lovers. Don't skip the lemon juice/sugar glaze - it's what makes it special.

Thanks for posting it looks & sounds yummy.

Follow the directions about whisking the wet together, then whisking in the dry slowly and only until blended, and then gently folding in the oil with a rubber spatula. It will turn out tough if you do it otherwise. We like it best with just the first lemon juice/sugar glaze put on the hot cake. I skip the final confectioner's sugar/lemon juice glaze because we don't like the confectioner's sugar flavor.

Thanks. Kind of like pecan pies that don't turn out if you mix to fast & get air in them & they foam. Not good. I did that once when I was younger & did not know why my pies did not turn out. I was in a hurry & had the mixer on high. Best to mix on low or hand mix. LOL!!!

Lemon yogurt cake is something a lot of french women will make at home for "le weekend". This is Dorie Greenspan's recipe from Baking from my Home to Yours. The book is full of wonderful recipes and she has a new one out next month.

In France, all the ingredients are measured with the yogurt container. Fast, easy, delicious!

I'm a Dorie reader and follower, as well. Love her website and love it when she's on The Splendid Table.

I vote for Dorie's recipe, too. I have made it many times and am never disappointed.

I went to the links and got both recipes - I love lemon cake! Now I just have to figure out which to try first. Thanks for posting those!
