Glazed Lemon Cake Recipe
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F (standard) or 160C/320F (fan/convection). Grease a 20 cm / 8” cake pan with butter.

  2. Place Wet ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until combined.

  3. Sprinkle over flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until smooth - few small lumps is ok.

  4. Pour into pan - it should be fairly thick but pourable (see video). Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

  5. Remove metal ring and cool on rack then glaze.

  6. Place ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Test down the side of the bowl to get the right thickness, using 1 tsp of yoghurt at a time to thin it out if required. Glaze should drip (slowly, because it's thick) but not be see through.

  7. Place rack on a tray or baking paper.

  8. Pour glaze over the middle of the cake, gently push towards the edges so it drips down the sides.

  9. Let it set for 1 hour before transferring to a serving plate.

  10. See note for how I did the lemon slices in the photos, and the alternative quick Cream Cheese Frosting.
