Yogurt and Honey Olive Oil Cake
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, honey, and lemon zest. Add the eggs and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) and stir until the batter is smooth - making sure not to overmix. Just mix until the dry ingredients are JUST incorporated.
Pour the batter to the prepared cake pan, and gently tap on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a sharp knife or toothpick comes out clean.
Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool for at least 10 minutes. Once slightly cooled, remove the cake from the pan. Invert the cake onto a plate and then flip it back onto a serving plate so it's right side up.
Whisk together the ingredients for the glaze, powdered sugar, yogurt and lemon juice. Drizzle on top of the cake and let set. Serve warm or at room temperature with fresh figs (or any other seasonal fruit) on top and tons of drizzled honey. Serve.
NOTES
Lots of questions via DM on how to store this cake - this cake and ANY OTHER CAKE should always be stored at room temp, covered. If you refrigerate a cake, it dries it out! If you must store it in the fridge for any reason - just be sure to remove it about 30 minutes before serving so it can come back to room temp for max flavor.
