Food brings us together is a mantra I always believed in; we gather around the table and share food, conversations, jokes, emotions and some of our troubles. By the end of a shared meal we feel fulfilled both physically and emotionally.
This week recipe is a very simple and delicious cake, you don't need an electric mixer, a hand held one will do the job nicely
Lemon Cake
4 large eggs at room
temperature
200 grams sugar
200 mil olive oil
200 grams strained yogurt
Zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon
280 grams all purpose flour
One table spoon baking powder
One packet of vanilla
In a large bowl mix all the ingredients, except the flour and baking powder, until well combined.
Add the baking powder to the
flour, stir with a fork to be combined.
Now sieve the flour into the bowl containing the liquid mixture and combine them using a spatula.
Remember to not over mix the combination, you need a fluffy cake not a loaf of bread.
Slightly oil and cover the bottom of a 30 cm oven pan or a Bundt in case you have one.
Pour the mixture
Bake for 40-45 minutes in 180
degrees pre heated oven
Once baked leave to cool before
taking it out of the pan
Dust with icing sugar
Finally, enjoy it with your
family and friends over coffee or a cup of tea
Thank you!
