Lemoncello Cake

 If you like lemoncello like I do, here is a dessert for you! I found this one on allrecipes.com.

Lemoncello Cake

Cake

1 c. plain greek yogurt

2 eggs

1/3 c. oil

2 T. fresh lemon juice

2 T. lemon zest

1 c. sugar

1/4 c. lemoncello

2 c. flour

1 1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

pinch of salt (optional)

Glaze

3/4 c. powdered sugar

3 T. lemoncello

Line 3 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper and/or cooking spray. (The original recipe called for only 1 pan but the sides on my pans were obviously way shorter than theirs--I had to use 3 pans!)

Whisk together yogurt, eggs, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and lemoncello.  

In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.   Gently add these dry ingredients to the wet.  Do not over mix or the cake will be tough.

Bake at 350 degrees until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes clean, about 35 minutes  Remove from oven and cool slightly.

For the glaze, combine the powdered sugar and lemoncello in a bowl until smooth.  Poke small holes over the top of the still warm cake with a fork or toothpick.  Spoon the glaze over the cake and spread with the back of a spoon.  The glaze will seep into the cake and add moisture.  (it might not seem like it is enough, but it is!)
