Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 180 grams non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large egg whites
- 60 milliliters lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and Greek yogurt, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the egg whites, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture, and continue to beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the top for a light dusting before slicing into 8 pieces to serve.
