250 g all purpose flour | |
120 g sugar | |
2 eggs | |
50 g seeds oil | |
125 ml plain yogurt | |
180 g lemon curd (bought or homemade) | |
10 g baking powder | |
a pinch of salt | |
to decorate | |
120 g icing sugar | |
2-3 tablespoons water | |
vanilla extract | |
a handful of chopped pistachios |
1. | Beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl. Add the oil, then add the lemon curd and the yogurt. |
2. | Mix well then add the sifted flour with the baking powder and a pinch of salt. |
3. | Pour the mixture into the greased and floured mold. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 ° C for about 40 minutes (do the toothpick test). Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. |
4. | When the cake is cold, proceed with the decoration. In a small bowl mix the icing sugar and vanillin with a little water, stirring well to obtain a fluid glaze. You decide how much: I like it thick and opaque, but if you prefer it lighter, increase the water slightly. However, always add very little at a time to better adjust yourself. |
5. | Pour the icing on the cake and spread over the chopped pistachios. Keep at room temperature for 2-3 days, enclosed in an airtight container. |
