法式优格蛋糕在我的to-do list里头已经很久了，本来是收藏了另一个来自法国网站的食谱，后来看到Olivia的作品很美味诱人的样子，所以就决定尝试这个食谱。这个蛋糕口味很清新，吃多了也不觉得腻。适合拿来当早餐或是下午茶，配上一杯angmoh teh（红茶）就更perfect了。
蛋糕刚出炉的样子。很喜欢看到这样的蛋糕，虽然看起来有点粗糙，但是给我一种很home-made，很温馨的感觉。
照片中看到的黑色loaf pan是刚买的，这是它的处女蛋糕。我一时忘了把烤箱的温度调低（黑色比较吸热），所以蛋糕的四周和底部烤到有点过火，外皮（crust）也有点厚。下次再用这个loaf pan时一定要看紧温度。
Angel觉得蛋糕本身口味有点淡，但是淋上了柠檬汁后味道就大不同。整个蛋糕充满了柠檬香气，而且变得很湿润，隔天更好吃。所以，Angel建议如果你想要尝试做这个蛋糕，glazing的部分不能省略。
加了glazing后蛋糕略酸，对我来说正合我口味，但是D却说酸到不行（发现男人对酸的接受度很像还蛮低的）。所以，建议柠檬汁加入糖粉后试一试味道调到自己喜欢的酸度才开始淋到蛋糕上。
Ingredients:
(A)
170g plain yogurt (I used 1 tub-150g yogurt + 20g evaporated milk)
115g sugar
Lemon zest from 1 lemon
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
(B)
3 large eggs (lightly beaten)
(C)
200g plain flour (I used 210g)
2tsp baking powder
(D)
80g melted butter (can be replaced by canola/corn/olive oil)
(E) – for glazing
Lemon juice from 1 lemon
60g icing sugar（糖粉）
Method:
1) Combine (A) in a mixing bowl, use a hand whisk to mix till well blended.
2) Add (B), mix well.
3) Combine (C) and sift together, fold into yogurt mixture in 2 – 3 additions with a spatula till just incorporated (stop when see no trace of flour)(do not over mix).
4) Add (D) gently and mix well.
5) Pour into a lined 9”x5” loaf pan and bake in preheat oven at 180C for about 35-40mins or till cooked (baking time should be longer if you use a smaller pan).
6) Allow cake to cool in pan on a wire rack for 15mins. Gently remove cake from pan and set on rack to cool completely.
7) Combine (E) and stir till icing sugar is dissolved (adjust the sweetness/sourness to your own liking).
8) Prick some holes on cake using toothpick, spoon (E) gently over the cake. Allow it to soak into the cake before next addition.
Note:
1) The crust was slightly over-baked and a bit thick, I should have lowered the temperature (which I had forgotten) as black colour mould was used to bake this cake.
2) Cake is moist with great lemon scent, a bit to the sour side, I used juice from whole lemon for glazing. If you prefer less sour, reduce the amount of lemon juice or increase the amount of icing sugar. Enjoy!
这个蛋糕我喜欢。柠檬优格真的很相配。
ReplyDeleteHi Anncoo，
ReplyDelete看来我们的口味相同。 呵呵！
The cake i do also have crack on top...
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon,
ReplyDeleteU mean u made this cake as well?
The most common reason for the crack is because the edge of the cake is cooked faster than the middle, causing a dome and crack on top.
It could be due to the oven temp, pan used.....many reasons but to me I think this is ok, in fact it gives me a very home-made feel. :)
Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI have missed this post earlier.
The cake looked good and quite similar with the one that I have baked.
You are right, I should have tried the glaze before putting it on the cake. I did not do so, so ended up it is too sour and my husband dislike it.
Angela,
I have a fren that tried the low fat lemon yogurt cake. She told me that why her cake is not fluffy and it turned to be hard? Mind to advice.
Hi Joanne,
ReplyDeleteI think generally men dislike sour stuff, haha. The glaze makes the cake more moist and looks nicer.
The low fat lemon yogurt cake that your friend made are you refering to this cake? This cake is using 'muffin method' that means just mix wet and dry ingredients together, the cake will turn out to be hard if overmix the batter. This is the only reason I can think of.
When mixing the batter, do not stir, instead, use folding method, i.e. fold from bottom to top then use another hand to turn the bowl at the same time.
Hope my two cents worth.
Hi Angela:
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your info and reply. I will convey it to my fren.
I guess I am lucky that my first attempt in the low fat yogurt lemon cake turned out well...Hehe.
Hi Joanne,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Hope that ur friend will get a soft cake on her next attempt. (but do not expect the testure will be as soft as sponge cake or cake made by 'creaming method' because generally cake made by 'muffin method' will be more dense and less fluffy).
