- Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to remove all lumps.
- Pour the cake batter into the mould and place in the centre of the oven for 20 minutes, until light brown and springy to touch.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes before removing the cake on to a wire rack to cool further.
- Meanwhile make the icing by placing the yogurt in a small bowl, add the icing sugar and beat well. Pour over the cake and leave to set.
