Lemon Yoghurt Cake
This gorgeously soft and moist Lemon Yoghurt Cake brightens a grey, chill and rainy day, both with its flavour and its colour! And whilst it is light as air, it is deliciously comforting too!
Ingredients (serves 4):
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 large egg whites
a pinch of salt
3/4 cup plain flour
3 tablespoons caster sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
a lemon
1/2 cup plain or Greek Yoghurt
1 large egg
2 heaped tablespoons Menton Lemon Marmalade (Confiture de Citron de Menton)
Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F.
Generously butter a cake tin. Sprinkle with caster sugar, shaking the tin, to coat evenly. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over a low flame. Once melted, remove from the heat. Set aside.
Place egg whites in a medium bowl. Add a pinch of salt, and beat with an electric mixer, gradually increasing speed until stiff peaks just form. Set aside.
In another medium bowl, combine flour, caster sugar and baking powder. Grate in the zest of about half the lemon. Give a good stir.
Dig a well in the middle, and pour in Greek Yoghurt. Break in the egg, add the Menton Lemon Marmalade and stir, to mix, until just blended. Then, stir in melted butter. Finally, gently fold in egg whites until no white streak remains.
Pour batter into prepared tin, and place in the middle of the hot oven. Bake, at 160°C/320°, 45 minutes, until golden on top.
Remove from the oven, and allow to cool in its tin, about 10 minutes, before turning out onto serving plate. Dust with Icing Sugar.
Serve Lemon Yoghurt Cake, warm or cooled. It pairs nicely with a small glass of Limoncello or a nice cuppa!

Tomato and Goat's Cheese Omelette (Vegetarian)
After the recent feasts, a simple (one-or-two-course) meal at lunch may come as something of a relief! Yet, simple does not mean it shouldn't be tasty and hearty, like this Tomato and Goat's Cheese Omelette, which makes a nice weekend brunch, too! Happy Friday!
Ingredients (serves 1):
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
half a dozen Cherry Tomatoes, rinsed
1 tablespoon Modena Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 egg whites
a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper
30 grams/1 ounce good quality goat's cheese
In a medium, nonstick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Halve Cherry Tomatoes and add to the hot pan, sauté, about 4 minutes, until softened and browned.
Deglaze with Balsamic Vinegar; cook, about one minute.
Add butter to the pan.
Beat eggs and egg whites, in a small bowl. Whisk in salt and cracked black pepper. Pour egg mixture over the Cherry Tomatoes.
As the omelet begins to set on the bottom, crumble goat's cheese generously all over the eggs and Tomatoes. Cook until the top is just a little moist, about 3 minutes total.
Serve Tomato and Goat's Cheese Omelette immediately, with buttered toasts and dressed lettuce.
