Recipe by Peyton Sanders | @peytonasanders
Ingredients
2 cups AP flour
½ tbsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp kosher salt
Zest of 3 lemons
½ cup full fat Greek yogurt (or ricotta)
4 whole eggs, room temp
1 cup Sizzle
For Glaze
Juice of 3 lemons
1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Active Time: 1 Hour
Full Time: 3 Hours
Sieve the flour and baking powder mixture into a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, salt, lemon zest, vanilla, yogurt, and 4 eggs until well combined.
Add Sizzle and whisk thoroughly to incorporate. Add the sieved flour mixture to the batter, and whisk until well combined. Make sure the batter is smooth and no visible lumps are present (It should form ribbons as it drips off a spatula).
Let the batter rest for 30-45 minutes. Prepare your loaf pan by spraying with Frizzle. Line the sides with cut out strips of parchment paper to ensure the cake does not stick. Once the batter is rested, pour into the loaf pan.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 45-55 mins (rotating halfway through) or until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
While baking, make the lemon syrup. Add lemon juice and sugar to a pot and heat over medium high heat until simmering, whisking until sugar is dissolved. Keep on low heat.
Once the cake is baked, Remove from loaf pan and let cool on a wire rack for 20-30 minutes. Poke the cake all over with a tooth pick or cake tester. Ladle your syrup over the cake until it’s all gone.
Let cool and slice. Serve with whipped cream and Drizzle.
