MAKE SOMETHING DELICIOUS

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9 x 5 inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl.

  3. In a second bowl, whisk the yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla and lemon zest until smooth.

  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones until just combined. A few small lumps are fine.

  5. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until golden and a skewer in the center comes out clean.

  6. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, lift out onto a rack and cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar.
