Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Stir in the yogurt, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.
• In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, mix the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Poke holes with a skewer and pour the lemon syrup over the cake.
• Let the cake cool completely before serving.
