I love lemon flavor and lemon cake is my childhood fantasy. Now as an aspiring bodybuilder I still relish on my lemon cake but in a different way. I use non fat Greek yogurt for this cake, it is neither too sweet nor too lemony the balance of flavor is perfect.
This recipe is perfect for your evening sweet dessert feast. It’s a guilt free indulgence as the Greek yogurt has probiotic properties along with ample calcium, protein and vitamin D. Add protein powder to make rich in protein.
this is an apprehensive cake recipe that is easy to make and outstanding. Serve this cake with fresh berries to add more value to this dessert and it will be more refreshing and tasty.
