Prep 29 min Cook 39 min Serves 11 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Butter1/2 cup, softened
  • Salta pinch
  • Eggs3
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Baking Powder2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract1 tsp
  • Semolina (Rava)1 cup
  • Lemon Zest1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time.

  3. 3

    Fold the flour and lemon zest through in two additions; overmixing makes a dense crumb.

  4. 4

    Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes; cool in the tin for ten before turning out.

  5. 5

    Level the top, pile on the frosting, and let it rest ten minutes before slicing.

Chef's tip

Weigh your flour if you can; cup measures can be off by twenty percent either way.
