LEMON YOGURT CAKE

February 14, 2013 By ashavenugopal Leave a Comment

A week back i had great plans for Valentine’s day; i wanted to cook something special for my better half. A minor accident in the kitchen put a damper on my plans. So i had to reconcile myself to making something very simple.  
After a little bit of search I decided to make Lemon Yogurt Cake which has been adapted from Martha Stewart Living (Orange Yogurt Cake). 
It requires no beating of eggs or creaming of butter …Just simple mixing of all the ingredients.With prep time of less than 10 minutes, this has to be one of the easiest cakes to make. lemon yogurt cake
 If you have a palette for tangy taste, you can add the lemon glaze which makes the cake moist and gives it a nice flavour.My husband, son and i loved the tangy flavour but friend said she would have preferred it with a little less of tang. So adjust the glaze depending on your preference.
