Cederbeg Bukettraube 2016
Ingredients
Method
- 100 g butter
- 100 g caster sugar
- 2 free-range eggs
- 1⁄2 cup Woolworths Ayrshire full-cream yoghurt, plus 1 T
- 1 lemon, zested
- 175 g self-raising flour, sifted
- 1 x 150 g tub Woolworths coconut-and-lime double-cream yoghurt
- 2 t fresh coconut, finely grated
- 1 lime, zested
Method
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 16 cm bundt cake tin or 20 cm ring tin.
Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the yoghurt and lemon zest. Mix until combined.
Gently fold the sifted flour into the cake mixture. Pour the mixture into the greased cake tin and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Decorate the cake with the coconut-and-lime yoghurt, grated coconut and lime zest.
Cook's note: Baking with yoghurt makes for extra moist cake. Plus, this coconut icing needs no added sugar and is quite decadent.
