Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons lime juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by mixing the powdered sugar and lime juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
