Directions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C\/350F (standard) or 160C\/320F (fan\/convection). Grease a 20 cm \/ 8\u201d cake pan with butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Place Wet ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until combined.
Sprinkle over flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk until smooth \u2013 few small lumps is ok.
Pour into pan \u2013 it should be fairly thick but pourable (see video).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Remove metal ring and cool on rack then glaze.
Glaze:
Place ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Test down the side of the bowl to get the right thickness, using 1 tsp of yoghurt at a time to thin it out if required. Glaze should drip (slowly, because it\u2019s thick) but not be see through.
Place rack on a tray or baking paper.
Pour glaze over the middle of the cake, gently push towards the edges so it drips down the sides.
Let it set for 1 hour before transferring to a serving plate.
See note for how I did the lemon slices in the photos, and the alternative quick Cream Cheese Frosting.
5. STORAGE: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days, it stays really moist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The glaze sweats into the cake slightly so you get a similar effect to those coke syrup cakes \/ poke cakes where you pour sweet syrup over the cake to soak into it and this also helps keep it moist. If it\u2019s crazy hot where you are (Dec \u2013 Feb in Australia), keep it in the fridge after 24 hours (because mould loves moisture + heat and this cake is very moist \ud83d\ude42 )
