Something a bit different this week. I had some extra yogurt in my fridge and was having some friends round for coffee so took one of my recipes and adapted it accordingly. I ended up with this lovely moist loaf to serve with coffee, and the lemon icing gave it a lovely tangy finish. You can use any flavour of yogurt and can adapt the fruit depending on what you have available. This is so easy but delicious.
Grease a 1lb loaf tin and preheat oven to 170 degrees
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 pot cherry yogurt 125g (or flavour of your choice)
120g sunflower oil
180g caster sugar
180g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
125g fruits of forest (defrosted if frozen)
Pre heat oven to 190/170 degrees fan and grease and line a loaf tin
Method
- Whisk eggs, sunflower oil and cherry yogurt together
- Mix dry ingredients together, then mix into the wet mixture until well combined
- Pour one half of the mixture into the prepared tin
- Then mix the fruits into the remainder of the mixture and pour into the tin – this will prevent all the fruit sinking to the bottom
- Bake for around 30 minutes – check by sticking a clean skewer into the middle of the cake – if it comes out clean it is ready
- Whilst the cake is cooking make the lemon glaze by sieving the icing sugar into a small bowl and adding a tablespoon of lemon juice
- When the cake comes out of the oven, pour the glaze over it, leave in the tin for around 10 minutes then remove and sit on a wire tray
