Whew, it has been a whole week since I posted a blog. With a new full time job, this non-planner has to start planning….
So the planning started this weekend, I made enough goodies for four blogs! AND one of the recipes will be a long overdue savory dish, a fun Super Bowl recipe!
“I declare this Lemon Week!“
This week I am excited to share this recipe, AND the fun giveaway! If you take a peek up in the recipe tab, you will see my love for Chobani Greek Yogurt is VERY strong. I am well on my way to 52 ways to enjoy their delicious yogurt. This recipe excludes eggs, and uses 0% plain Chobani.
Why is this week lemon week? Well honestly, because I said so, LOL!!! Also because I picked up a big bag of lemons at Sam’s Club for a great deal, and decided to have some fun! I will share lemon pecan vegan muffins on Wednesday.
When I made this recipe on Thursday, in hopes of having the blog up on Friday…. Well you see that didn’t happen….
For the second time in my baking fun, I left the oven on broil instead of bake. I did it when I was making my rosemary black olive no-knead bread. Seriously, that is just a silly mistake!!! We have a system in the kitchen to ensure the oven stays on bake…..the system let me down:-)
So I salvaged the cake, and made more. I will always take more cake, I mean who wouldn’t, right?
The kitty is wishing you a “Happy Chinese New Year!”
The recipe is adapted from Our Sweet Lemons, Sweet Lemon Bread. We decided to call it cake, my hubby said it has more of a cake consistency, (could be the Greek yogurt.)
Sweet Lemon Cake Recipe:
- 1½ cups AP flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup sugar + ⅔ cup for glaze on baked cake
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Zest of 1 large lemon
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 cup plain Chobani Greek Yogurt
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- Juice of 1 large lemon + juice of 1 large lemon for glaze on baked cake
- 1½ tsp almond extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and lightly flour loaf pan. In small sauce pan, melt butter and let cool before mixing in with Greek yogurt.
- In small bowl, mix together flour, salt, 1 cup sugar, baking powder, zest of lemon.
- In medium bowl, mix together almond milk, Greek yogurt, melted butter, juice of one lemon, and almond extract.
- Mix together wet and dry ingredients. Place in loaf pan, let bake for 45-50 minutes depending on oven.
- In small sauce pan, on medium heat cook together ⅔ cup sugar and juice of one lemon, let sugar dissolve. Poke holes with toothpick in baked cake, drizzle sugar lemon glaze on top of cake, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
