    Im so glad I stumbled across this recipe!🍋
    I halved the sugar and added coconut yogurt and it was absolutely delicious! Wasn't sure how it would turn out as it didn't rise as expected but was so moist and fluffy! Added a lemon cream cheese frosting & Hubby said it's possibly the best cake I've made! Saved into Cookidoo for future reference! Thanks heaps!

    Submitted by Wongo on 20. September 2019 - 13:22.

    Love this lemony lemon cake. So easy with ingredients I had in my kitchen. I have never had a lemon cake with so much flavour. I didn’t make the icing as my hubby doesn’t like it but it honestly doesn’t need it. If I was taking the cake out or serving it to guests I would make a cream cheese frosting as someone else previously suggested.
    I cooked the cake in a ring tin & it cooked in 35mins at 190 degrees fan forced. (My oven is 5-10 degrees cooler)
    Thank you for this delicious recipe. In the oven again at the moment cooking it for a friend 😃

    Submitted by Megan81 on 30. April 2017 - 17:21.

    This was amazing! I halved the lemon zest and this was the perfect amount for my family. Didn't have quite enough greek yoghurt so I added a bit of milk (40g) and I dropped the sugar by 20g, will drop by another 20g next time I make it too.

    Added some philly cheese to the icing and a bit more lemon zest to make a lemon cream cheese icing and it was perfect!

    love your work, Arwen!

    thanks for another lovely recipe. I used a vegetable peeler to ensure I got all the zest from the lemon, and my cake had a good balance of lemon flavour and sweetness. I also used Gippsland dairy plain sweetened yogurt.

    Submitted by Kelstar77 on 12. May 2015 - 21:18.

    A lovely cake. I made this gluten free (Aldi flour) and it was super light and fluffy. The actual cake wasn't a very strong lemon flavour, it was the icing that gave the flavour so next time I will add more lemon juice to the cake. Thanks for sharing tmrc_emoticons.-)

    Mixed results (my mistake)

    Unfortunately my attempt didn't go so well.  I used a loaf tin and perhaps this was too deep for the mixture to cook properly.  It would be good to add suggested dimensions for the tins to be used / depth of mixture for novice bakers like me.  The flavour was good though!
