Lemon Yoghurt Madeira Cake

This is a nice easy recipe that could be made for your Mum this Mother's Day - or you could make one for yourself & sit back with a cuppa and a big spoon and indulge whilst your husband and kids are doing the chores! I don't think ours will last until Mother's Day as I made it this afternoon, just before the school Mother's Day assembly, and already there is only half left!

   

Lemon Yoghurt Madeira Cake

175g Butter, softened

175g caster sugar

3 eggs

125g Greek Style Lemon yoghurt (I used Rachel's Organic)

225g Self raising flour

Topping

150g  full fat cream cheese

100g Greek Style Lemon yoghurt (I used Rachel's Organic)

1 tbsp caster sugar

• Beat the butter & sugar together until light & creamy
• Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then the yoghurt
• Mix in the flour until well combined
• Add mixture to a loaf tin, lined with greaseproof paper, and bake in a preheated 170C oven for approx 1 hour, until cooked all the way through and golden on the top.
• Leave to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool fully
• Beat the cream cheese, yoghurt & sugar together until smooth
• Spread topping over the cooled cake

Enjoy!

I was provided with some Rachel's Organic lemon yoghurt to use in my cooking & baking
