Recipe of the week: Lemon Yogurt Loaf








1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt (i actually used banilla)
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup apple sauce
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Grease loaf pan.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla.

Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Fold the apple sauce into the batter and mix well.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in.
