Healthy Lemon Pound Cake*

8-10 servings

 

1/4 cup yogurt of choice (I used Greek, nonfat)

1/2 cup lemon juice

3 1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil or additional yogurt

1/2 Tbsp. vanilla

zest of one lemon

1 cup white or spelt flour (you may also substitute Bob’s GF)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. baking soda

heaping 1/4 tsp. salt

——————————

Glaze: 

Combine 1/3 cup powdered sugar with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice

 

 

Prepare an 8” x 5”** bread pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

 

Whisk the yogurt, juice, oil, vanilla and zest in a small bowl.

 

Blend the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the yogurt-lemon mixture and blend just until combined and pour into the prepared pan.

 

Bake 20-25 minutes or until the bread tests done. Cool before glazing.
