Lemon Olive Oil Yogurt Cake. . a light, moist and incredibly flavorful cake. This cake goes wonderfully with coffee!
My awesome mother came into town last week to help watch the girls while I was out of town. It’s great now connecting with her and seeing her with my girls, her granddaughters, and talking with my mother now that I am a mother too. We can connect on so many more levels now and since we don’t live in the same state, seeing her and spending time together is always cherished.
Initially, right after I had Phoebe, it was “how do I do this?” and “this happened. what do I do?” but now that my mother is getting older and my girls are a little older so I’ve learned a little bit along the way, I try to take care of and do things for my mother as much as possible.
My mom loves a good cake. Especially in the morning with some tea. Cake that’s not too sweet and moist and flavorful. This cake is it. This Lemon Olive Oil Yogurt cake was so good. And my mother loved it.
The good people at MightyNest sent me this fabulous 
This is a brand new non-stick coconut oil spray from Pompeian. It’s fabulous and my Lemon Olive Oil Yogurt Cake came out perfectly.
I hope you try this cake . . it’s light and delicious!!

- 1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
