Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 1/2 cups (210g) all-purpose or cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups (250g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (125g) vegetable oil
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon, divided
- Zest and juice of 1 lime, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- Juice, from above
- Zest to decorate
Instructions
For the cake:
- Preheat oven at 350ºF / 180ºC.
- Spray or butter a 10x4-inch (27x9cm) loaf cake pan and line with a strip or parchment paper.
- In a large bowl beat sugar, yogurt, sour cream, oil, eggs, half the lemon and lime juices, zest, and vanilla for 1-2 minutes.
- Add dry, sifted ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) in 2 parts and beat just to incorporate well. Don't overbeat or the cake will be tough.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. The surface will be shiny and possibly cracked, not as dry as regular cakes.
- Let cool on a wire rack and unmold carefully.
For the glaze:
- Beat powdered sugar with remaining citrus juice until no lumps remain. Add juice in batches so you make it as thick or runny as you wish.
- Pour over room temperature cake and decorate with zest before it hardens.
Notes
Size variations - Individual bundt cakes, so cute with the glaze dripping slowly. Never fails to impress the neighbors. Muffins, a recipe yields at least 12-14 regular muffins. Snacking cake, it's a good recipe for making a single layer 9-inch round or square cake.
Storing: it keeps very well for several days. I suggest wrapping and refrigerating it after 2 days. Or freeze up to a month.
