Instructions
Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease with a little butter and lightly dust the sides of a 17.5 cm loaf tin with flour. Line base with baking paper.
Sift flour and baking powder into a bowl, then stir in almond meal. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar, yoghurt, lemon zest, vanilla and oil and whisk until smooth. Slowly pour wet mixture into dry mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
Pour batter into prepared pan, then bake for 1 hour or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool cake in tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with icing sugar. Cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
