100g natural yoghurt
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°c and grease and line a 2L loaf tin with butter and flour.
- Grate your lemon then rub the zest into the sugar, this will help to release the oils in the lemon zest and intensify the flavour.
- Put the butter and sugar into a large bowl and beat with an electric hand whisk until creamy for 7-10 minutes, the butter should be white and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time and a spoonful of flour to prevent curdling of the mixture then fold in with the poppy seeds and the yoghurt.
- Spoon into the tin and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.
- Beat the Icing ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon until a thick paste and pour it onto your cake!
