Lemon Yoghurt Cake

magwarehouse1, Aug 13, 2:52am
First time I am making this. I can smell something like burning so check cake and the whole thing is over-flowing in the cake pan. It was only in there for about 10 minutes.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why it did that! Too much baking powder making!
My mum makes this cake and I love it so thought I'd try my hand at it lol, I'm normally great in the kitchen, cooking/baking, but this is a complete fail!

My lemon yoghurt cake needs a big tin.

Lemon Yoghurt Cake
This recipe has been in the family for over 25 years it was given to my Mother a friend in Seattle hence the use of a "bundt" tin. Bundt tins are available for sale in our catalogue. The cake keeps extremely well and freezes beautifully. Just remember to grease tin well with butter and dust with flour,shaking off the excess before filling with mixture.
Ingredients:
1 & 3/4 cups caster sugar
rind 2-3 lemons
2 eggs
1 cup sunflower oil
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt (not low fat)
2-3 tsp lemon juice
2 cups self raising flour
Method:
Beat eggs,oil,sugar and peel together in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients in the order above. Butter and flour a 24cm bundt tin . Bake at 180C for 40-45 minutes. Test with a cake tester. Let cake rest only 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Dust cold cake with sifted icing sugar.
