Instructions
Preparing the Cake
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a Bundt cake tin or spray it with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Beat Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the room temperature Kerrygold Irish butter with the icing sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Grate Lemon Zest: Wash the lemon well and grate the peel to obtain the zest. Add the zest to the butter and sugar mixture.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the flour, eggs, yogurt, cream cheese, and baking powder to the bowl. Mix well to form a homogeneous dough. Ensure there are no lumps, and the batter is smooth.
Baking the Cake
- Pour into Tin: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt cake tin, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the tin on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cooling the Cake
- Cool Gradually: After baking, turn off the oven and leave the oven door slightly open for a few minutes. This allows the cake to cool slowly, which helps prevent it from sinking or cracking.
- Remove from Oven: Take the cake out of the oven. Allow it to cool completely in the tin before carefully removing it.
Serving
- Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar: Once the cake has cooled completely and is removed from the tin, sprinkle it generously with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy: Slice and serve this ultra-juicy lemon yoghurt cake. Enjoy the moist, flavorful, and tangy delight with your family and friends!
This lemon yoghurt cake is perfect for any occasion, offering a refreshing and creamy flavor that’s sure to please everyone. Enjoy!
