Instructions

1 Pre-heat the oven to 350°F
2 In your mixing bowl, add the eggs and sugar and beat until frothy. Add the lemon
zest and mix another minute. Whisk in the yogurt and oil.
3 In a medium bowl add the flour, baking powder and vanilla powder and add it
slowly to the wet mixture while stirring.
4 Pour the batter into a greased 9x9 baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes or so,
you want the top browned and the center cooked through.
5 Once the cake cools completely make the simple syrup. Combine the sugar, water
and lemon slice in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat stirring occasionally until
the sugar completely melts.
6 Let it boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool for 3-4 minutes.
Pour most of it over the cake. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes. Slice and serve.

note: I had about a cup or so of the left over syrup which I put in the fridge
once it was cooled and will use it for some sort of cocktail in the next few
weeks.
