Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
For the Glaze:
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted

Instructions

Step One: Preheat the oven and prepare the pan.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper with butter and dust the pan with all-purpose flour, shaking out any excess. Set aside.

Step Two: Make the batter.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and oil until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until incorporated. Whisk in the lemon zest and juice. Add the dry ingredients in two batches, stirring until just combined. Fold in the yogurt.

Step Three: Bake the cake.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step Four: Make the glaze.

In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set, then slice and serve.
