Let’s dive into the steps to prepare this delightful cake:
Whisking the Eggs
Start by soaking the raisins in hot water. While they plump up, crack open those eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and 70 grams of granulated sugar. Now, whisk away until that mixture is as smooth as silk.
Adding the Goodness
Once your egg mixture is flawless, pour in the Greek yogurt and vegetable oil. Blend it all together until it’s perfectly combined. Don’t forget to add a zest of lemon for that extra zing!
Crafting the Dough
Next up, sift in the flour and baking powder. Fold and knead until you have a thick, luscious dough. Drain the raisins and gently fold them into the mix for a burst of sweetness in every bite.
Baking the Cake
Prepping the Pan
Grease a baking dish with butter to ensure your cake doesn’t stick. Pour the dough into the mold, spreading it out evenly to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle and Bake
For the finishing touch, sprinkle some sugar on top of the cake to create a delightful crust. Pop it in the oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown and irresistible.
Serving Suggestion
Once your cake is baked to perfection, allow it to cool slightly before slicing into generous portions. Pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a heavenly treat that will transport you to the streets of Italy with every bite.
