Cake Ingredients:
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 1/3 c sugar, divided
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp baking powder
3 Eggs
1/3 c freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 c plain whole-milk yogurt or sour cream
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp grated lemon zest or 2 tsp lemon extract
Glaze Ingredients:
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 c powdered sugar
Directions:
Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
Apply cooking spray to the inside of an 8 1/2-inch loaf pan, line it with parchment paper, brush with butter, and coat with flour.
In a mixing bowl, add salt, flour, and baking powder. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
In another mixing bowl, add the yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, 1 cup of sugar, and eggs. Whisk everything to combine.
Transfer the flour mixture into the bowl with the egg mixture. Whisk to combine. Stir in vegetable oil.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the batter for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting it into the middle.
Meanwhile, add 1/3 cup of lemon juice and the rest of the sugar into a saucepan over medium heat. Stir and simmer for a few minutes. Remove the pan from the stove.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Use a fork to poke small holes over the cake.
Pour the lemon-sugar mixture on top of the cake and spread it evenly, making sure that the small holes are filled. Cool the cake completely before serving.
In a mixing bowl, add lemon juice and powdered sugar. Stir to blend. Pour the mixture on top of the cake and spread it evenly.
Slice the cake into even pieces.
Serve and enjoy!
Note:
Serve the cake with ice cream, fresh strawberries, or whipped cream on top.
