Substituting butter for dairy products such as yoghurt and milk can help reduce the fat content of your baking. This Easy Lemon Yoghurt Cake is a delicious, moist cake that is super simple to make. If you would rather go without icing and love a strong lemon flavour, lightly score the top of the cake once cooked and drizzle lemon juice over the top.
