Servings: persons

2 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup white sugar
2 lemons, zested and juiced, divided
3 eggs
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup confectioners' sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-1/2x4-1/2-inch loaf pan with butter.
2
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a bowl.
3
Combine white sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Rub lemon zest into the sugar with your fingers until fragrant.
4
Combine eggs, yogurt, juice of 1 lemon, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixture until blended. Add flour mixture and sugar mixture; beat on low speed until batter is just combined. Fold in olive oil gently using a spatula.
5
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan, at least 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; invert onto a serving dish.
7
Whisk remaining lemon juice and confectioners' sugar together in a bowl to make a thin glaze. Drizzle glaze over cake.
