I actually love baking, but I find it hard to find the time. In our household, it is mostly my husband who does the baking. He is rather good at it. I have some recipes that are real winners, but some of them take up a lot of time, and with two small children… I need it to be simple.
That’s why I love this recipe. It’s super easy and quick to prepare, and the yogurt makes it fresh and delicious. Enjoy!

Notes
If you don’t have fresh lemons, you can replace the lemon zest with some lemon juice.
I’m not too fond of super sweet cakes. If you like it sweet, you could try adding 135 grams of sugar instead of 100 grams.
