Preparation
Step 1
*Yogurt Cake*
*Heat* the oven to 350ºF/180ºC. *Beat* the yogurt and the sugar together in a bowl. *Beat* in the eggs and lemon zest. *Sift* the flour with the baking powder and beat in. Finally, *add* the melted butter (or oil, although it doesn't taste quite as nice) and *beat* the whole mixture well. *Pour* into non-stick muffin tins or a greased and floured loaf pan. *Bake* until a toothpick comes out clean, approximately 25 minutes.
Note: recipe makes 12 muffin-sized cakes, or 1 loaf.
*Syrup*
*Heat* orange or lemon juice with sugar and honey, to taste, and *cook* until the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. (It was thin and syrupy) *Prick* the tops of the cakes with a fork, and *spoon* the syrup over so it sinks into the cakes.
