The Best Dessert for Tea Time

Ingredients:

Dry

• 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp finely grated zest (we used grapefruit, but also highly recommend blood orange or lemon!)

• 1/3 cup good olive oil
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3/4 cups yogurt

Icing

Method:

1) Pre-heat oven to 350ºF and grease a loaf pan. Coat pan with a sprinkle of flour.

2) Gently mix all of your dry ingredients together. 

3) Mix the coconut sugar and citrus zest together. Work together until fragrant. 

4) To the sugar mixture, add the eggs, olive oil and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until fully incorporated, light, and viscous. 

5) Reduce speed on your mixer, and add half your dry ingredients. 

6) Stir in 3/4 cup yogurt. 

7) Add the remaining half of the dry ingredients to your mixture

8) Add 5 tablespoons citrus juice.
