Ingredients

• 200 g Plain flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 2 lemons Lemon zest
• 200 g Caster sugar
• 120 g Unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large Eggs
• 150 g Plain yogurt
• 50 ml Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp Icing sugar (optional for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake tin. Line the base with baking paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Place the plain flour, baking powder, and salt into the Thermomix bowl. Sift by mixing for 10 seconds at Speed 5. Transfer to a separate bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Add the lemon zest and caster sugar to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 10 seconds at Speed 10 to finely grate the zest and infuse the sugar.

Step 4

Insert the butterfly whisk attachment. Add the softened butter to the bowl and beat with the sugar mixture for 30 seconds at Speed 4. Scrape down the sides and repeat if necessary until fluffy.

Step 5

With the butterfly still attached, add the eggs one at a time through the lid while mixing at Speed 3 for 1 minute. Ensure each egg is incorporated before adding the next.

Step 6

Remove the butterfly whisk. Add the plain yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix for 10 seconds at Speed 3 until combined.

Step 7

Gradually add the flour mixture back into the bowl. Mix for 15 seconds at Speed 3 until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides and mix for another 5 seconds if needed. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust with icing sugar if desired. Slice and serve!
