Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and has almost doubled in size.

Step 2

Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, yogurt, and oil gently until everything is well combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3

Sift the flour and baking powder together, then add them to the wet ingredients in two parts. Fold them in gently to keep the batter light and airy.

Step 4

Pour the batter into a greased cake tin, sprinkle the almond petals on top, and use a spatula to make a shallow cut down the center.

Step 5

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6

Let it cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite tea or just as is. The lemon flavor really shines through!
