Our lemon-yoghurt cake offers a harmonious blend of tangy lemon zest, creamy yoghurt, and the richness of olive oil. The result is a cake that is bursting with flavor and has a wonderfully soft and moist texture. The refreshing citrus notes in this cake make it a perfect choice for warm summer days.
