A cake that will win you over with its softness, the lemon loaf cake is a dessert that is prepared in a few minutes, but it’s so good and soft that it will become the favorite breakfast. Made with plain Greek yogurt, it’s simple, genuine, and obviously delicious. If you like breakfast cakes, try the lemon cream tart, irresistible, or the classic jam tart. If you like soft breakfasts or snacks, try the chocolate cake without butter, milk, and eggs or a splendid apple and orange cake. For a healthy breakfast or snack, try the apple pancakes or for the most indulgent, the pancakes with a chocolate heart.

Ingredients for the preparation of the lemon loaf cake

- 1/3 cup potato starch
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk

Steps for the preparation of the lemon loaf cake
Break the eggs and collect them whole in a bowl. Work them with the electric beaters adding the sugar and, when they are nice and frothy, always mixing, add the vegetable oil gradually.
Mix the flour (I prepare it with 50g less flour, but many had problems during baking so I’ve made it simpler for baking), the sifted potato starch, and baking powder and the milk; mix with a spoon or still with the electric beaters. Finish with the yogurt, the grated zest of an organic lemon, washed, and the salt. Mix until you have a homogeneous mixture.
Line a 12-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and pour the mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F, static, in the middle-lower part of the oven, for about 40 minutes, always do the skewer test. Let cool and serve with powdered sugar.
Storage
You can store the loaf cake under a glass dome for 4 or 5 days.
