To Make the Lemon Yogurt Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and line a 9x5-inch (23x12½cm) loaf pan.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a medium bowl with a handheld electric mixer) beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.

Turn down the speed to low and add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add the yogurt, lemon zest, juice, and vanilla and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry into the wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 55-65 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

To Make the Lemon Syrup

In a small saucepan over medium heat add the sugar, lemon juice, and water and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup looks clear.

To Soak the Cake

When the cake comes out of the oven, using a wooden skewer, poke holes all over the loaf while it is still in the pan. Pour the hot syrup over the warm cake and let the syrup soak into the cake while it is cooling in the loaf pan.

Once the cake is cool, remove it from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely .

To Make the Lemon Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

To Decorate the Cake

Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let it set before serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
