      Beat the sugar and eggs together in a large bowl until smooth, then add the vegetable oil, lemon zest and juice and the yogurt. Combine the wet ingredients with the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt using a whisk. Don’t worry if a few lumps remain.

    A lively tasty cake however cooking instructions are wrong.70 to 90 minutes is far too much. I baked it in my traybake tin and when I checked it after 40 minutes, it was done.

    Incredible cake! Used Greek yogurt because that was all I had in and used plain flour but it turned out beautifully! Delicious and light too:)

    question

    I’d like to make this and freeze it in individual portions. What would be the best way to do this? Also, can I use Greek yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt?

    It looks like a giant scone rather than a cake. It was delicious anyway.

    Came out amazing even without yogurt and lemon. If not using yoghurt add some about 2 tablespoons.
