Lemon Yoghurt Cake


I found this recipe on the side of a 'You'll Love Coles' SR Flour packet.  The result was a perfect lemon cake and very easy too...

Ingredients
125g Butter, softened
1 cup Caster Sugar
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
3 Extra Large Eggs
1 tbs lemon juice
1 1/2 cups Self Raising Flour, sifted
1/2 cup Greek-style Yoghurt
Icing Sugar, for serving

Method
Pre-heat oven to 180C/160C fan forced.  Grease and line base of a 20cm cake tin.  (I used a loaf pan.)

Beat butter, sugar and lemon rind in a bowl until light and creamy.  Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Fold in the lemon juice then flour, alternately with the yoghurt until combined.  Spoon into the pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 15 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool.  Dust with sifted incing sugar and serve with berries and cream if desired.
