Lemon Greek Yogurt Cake Recipe

Easy and quick lemon Greek yogurt cake / bread recipe with a citrusy bite from fresh lemon zest balanced by the sweet aromas of vanilla and powdered sugar finish. Lovely sprinkled with some healthy chopped pistachios, a few berries or some of these balsamic roasted figs. Whatever tickles your taste buds.

Lemon Greek Yogurt Cake

There’s no butter in my recipe, as always I go to my healthy fat of choice: the extra virgin olive oil, forever and ever!
 
You can bake this cake in a simple loaf pan for nice coffee shop looking slices covered in powdered sugar, or dust off your bundt cake pan for a more festive look. You can even make it in a spring form pan If that’s what you have.

Feel free to fold some berries into the batter as I do with my muffin cake if you insist, however I find this to be best in its simplicity with a snow like cover of powdered sugar.
A little lemon or marmalade glaze, Greek yogurt icing or chocolate frosting would be a nice compliment If you were after a richer dessert.

Because I store my pizza stone in the oven, I accidentally heat it up with the oven even when I’m not making pizza or Italian crusty bread. That’s how I found out that it helps to attain a nice crusty bottom on my yogurt cake. We happen to absolutely love that, so If that’s what you are after then use your pizza stone friends!  
But remember that your cake will be done a little sooner, so I’d check it after 35 minutes.
