Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup flour
0.5 cups ground almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
grated lemon zest
0.5 cups plain yogurt (regular or greek)
3 large eggs
0.25 teaspoons vanilla extract
0.5 cups canola oil
0.25 cup jam or marmalade
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 and butter a loaf pan. 2. Whisk together flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt. 3. Put sugar and lemon zest in a medium bowl and rub together until moist. 4. Add yogurt, eggs, and vanilla and whisk vigorously until smooth. Add dry ingredients and whisk again. With a rubber spatula, blend in oil. It takes a little while but will eventually develop a nice sheen. Scrape batter into loaf pan. 5. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until cake is golden brown and begins to pull away from the side of the pan. Cool 5 minutes and remove from pan to cool. 6. Heat jam and water in small pan and stir until liquified. Gently brush on top of cake with pastry brush.
