Juice and zest of lemon and orange turn the yogurt cake into a fragrant cake perfect to serve as an elegant dessert. Like the spice cake, the citrus flavor improves on standing for one day before serving.

Ingredients

Serves:

FOR CAKE:

2 cups cake flour (sift before measuring)

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 stick unsalted butter, softened

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs, warmed in shell in hot water 5 minutes

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1 1/3 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt

FOR GLAZE:

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 tablespoons light corn syrup

4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoons orange juice

Directions

Make cake: Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Butter a 9 x 2- inch round pan and line bottom with parchment paper. Butter paper, then flour pan, knocking out excess.

Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Beat butter, sugar, eggs, and zests with an electric mix on medium speed until pale and creamy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Add flour mixture in 3 batches alternating with yogurt just until blended, scraping down side of bowl as needed. Spread batter evenly in pan and rap pan on work surface to eliminate air bubbles.

Bake until cake is golden and tests dry when a wooden pick is inserted into center, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a rack and peel off paper.

Make glaze: Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth and then brush glaze on hot cake. Cool completely.

This is a great moist cake-baked, as is, at 5000'. Double the recipe for a sheet cake that I glazed in the pan. Added 1/8 teaspoon vanilla to the double recipe glaze. Also when I printed the recipe it called for 1 1/3 cups vanilla flavored yogurt.
