Lemon Yogurt Loaf

Recipe by Canadian Living.

This loaf is perfect to have with your afternoon cup of tea, which is exactly what my sister and I did yesterday, after a long morning of running errands.

What you'll need
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1 3/4 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
1 3/4 tsp Lemon rind, finely grated
2/3 cup Balkan-style plain yogurt
3 Eggs
1/3 cup Vegetable oil

Syrup:
3/4 cup Icing sugar
1/3 cup Lemon juice

How to
1.  In bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

2.  In large bowl and using fingers, rub sugar with lemon rind. Whisk in yogurt and eggs; whisk in oil. Stir in flour mixture in 2 additions. Scrape into parchment paper-lined 8x14-inch loaf pan.

3.  Bake in 350°F oven until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan; place on small tray.

4.  For syrup, in a small bowl, whisk icing sugar with lemon juice until dissolved. Brush over top and sides of loaf, moving loaf around to absorb excess liquid. Let cool on rack.
