Colorful, moist lemon yogurt cake with lemon icing

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 260 g wheat flour
• 1 packet of baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 300 g sugar
• 1 lemon(s), untreated
• 260 ml vegetable oil
• 4 eggs
• 300 ml Greek yogurt
• 6 tubes of food coloring (if you want to bake a colorful cake)
• 100 g icing sugar for the icing

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 5 minutes

Alternatively, other citrus fruits can be used, from a 26 cm mould, approx. 12 pieces

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan/convection oven). In a small bowl, mix the flour with baking powder and salt. In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar. Zest and halve the lemon. Squeeze the first half and set aside. Mix the lemon zest with the sugar until it is distributed evenly and slightly moistens the sugar. Now add the eggs, yogurt, oil and lemon juice to the sugar mixture and mix with a whisk. Stir in the flour mixture until a smooth batter forms. Pour this batter directly into a greased, round cake pan (26 cm diameter). If you want a colorful lemon cake, divide the batter into 6 equal bowls and mix each with a food coloring of your choice. In a greased round cake pan, first pour the contents of the first bowl into the center of the pan. The batter will slowly flow outwards. Then take the next bowl and pour the contents back into the center of the cake pan. This will also flow outwards. Continue this process until all the colors are in the baking dish. At the end, you can use a toothpick to blend the colors from left to right, in a circle, and parallel to create a beautiful pattern. Place the cake in the oven for about 45-50 minutes. Use a toothpick to test for doneness. If there is still batter sticking to it, the cake needs a little more cooking time. Squeeze the second half of the lemon and mix with 100g of powdered sugar until creamy. Once the cake has cooled, brush on the lemon icing. It takes about 1 hour to set. Cut the cake into about 12 pieces. If you like, you can use orange or grapefruit instead of lemon.
