Method
Make the syrup
Boil the sugar and water and simmer over a medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the lemon juice and leave to cool.
Whisk the cake
Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale. Add the yoghurt and oil. Sift in the dry ingredients and fold in with a spatula.
Bake
Pour into a greased tin. Bake in a 175 degree oven until browned on top and a skewer comes out clean.
Add the syrup and rest
Cut the hot cake into portions and spoon the cold syrup evenly over it. Leave for at least an hour to soak it up.
Tips
- Stick to the hot cake, cold syrup rule. If both are hot, it turns doughy.
- You can sprinkle desiccated coconut or pistachios on top.
Storage
Keeps for 4 days in the fridge.
