Sour fruits, candy, snacks, foods and dessert you name it and I love it ;-)
Whilst a major chunk of people prefer chocolate based desserts, I admit that I do not, give me a lime/ lemon/ orange/ berry based dessert any day over a chocolate one and I'm a happy bunny.
I often prepare chocolate based desserts for a get together with friends and enjoy making it, but my heart and palette are happiest making and devouring a tart and juicy lemon cake/ bar/ cookie/ tart..... you get the drift. I like lemons so much , that when I started to write my own collection of recipes the first in the book is this very recipe that I will share with you today.
The weekend before last I had on hand a few more limes than usual and also a full pot of yogurt, coupled with an afternoon all to myself (a rarity for a toddlers mum), and as I was updating my handwritten book of recipes, I came across this one that I had made many years ago. It makes a yummy and tangy lemon loaf :-)
So without further ado, this ones for all you lemon lovin' folks, make it today and have it with a mug of chai (milky tea) of freshly brewed coffee.
Serves 6 to 8
You will need:
For the Cake3/4 cup unflavored oil
2 eggs
1 tbsp lemon rind
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup plain yogurt
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour

3/4 cup caster/ superfine sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice

For the glaze
- As the cake is cooling poke in some holes all over it with a raw spaghetti or toothpick
