LEMON YOGURT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.
• When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
• For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the base and sides of an 8 1/2-inch springform pan with greaseproof or parchment paper.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Add the ground almonds and sugar, and mix.
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the eggs, honey, yogurt, sunflower oil, and lime zest. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and slowly pour in the wet ingredients, bringing the ingredients together with a whisk until they are just combined. Add some chopped pistachios to the mixture if you wish, or reserve for decorating, if using. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes.
• To make the syrup: In a small saucepan, boil half a cup water and the sugar until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the lime juice, and boil for another 2 minutes, then cool, and add rosewater to taste. With a fine skewer, poke holes on top of the warm cake and, with a tablespoon, spoon the syrup all over the top. Scatter the pistachios over, if using, and let sit for 1 hour. Decorate with rose petals, if using. Serve with cream, yogurt, sliced mangos or berries.
