Plain loaf cake

I don’t often bake but we were having a few friends over and I this simple French cake caught my eye at a friend’s blog. It’s very quick to whip together and no mixer needed.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1tbsp lemon peel
• 3/4 cup greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter a loaf pan and sprinkle it with flour. Set aside

2. In a mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. In another mixing bowl mix sugar and lemon peel and mix in the lemon peel with the sugar with your fingers until the sugar is damp from the lemon essence. Add oil, eggs, yogurt, and vanilla extract and mix everything with a whisk until it is well mixed.

3. Fold the liquid mixture with the dry mixture mixing with a spatula until well mixed. Pour the batter in the cake pan and bake for about 50 mins.
