makes 8 small cakes
Ingredients
250 ml flour
125 ml sugar
20 ml baking powder
pinch of salt
125 ml milk
3 T butter (no margarine)
1 egg
zest of 1 lemon
For the syrup
3 T honey
2 T butter
juice of 1 lemon
lemon zest for serving
250 ml Greek Yogurt
2 T confectioner sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C and spray a muffin pan with non-stick spray.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Heat the milk and butter so that the butter melts completely. Add the egg and whisk with a fork or ball whisk. Mix the egg mixture and the dry ingredients together. Add the lemon zest and spoon into 8 muffin moulds. I only filled each mould halfway to allow the cakes to rise. Bake for 15 minutes.
In the meantime, make the syrup, by melting the honey, butter and lemon juice together. When the cakes are done baking, remove from the muffin pan, turn upside down on a serving plate and pour the honey/butter mixture over the cakes.
Serve with Greek yogurt that has been sweetened with the 2 T of confectioner's sugar.
Enjoy with strong black coffee or an espresso or two.
