Ingredients
Scale
1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of Greek honey
1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup of plain yogurt
1/4 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons sesame seeds or sliced almonds for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment for easy removal.
Whisk the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, honey, olive oil, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth and glossy.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined—a few small lumps are okay. If the batter seems too thick, whisk in 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top, then sprinkle with sesame seeds or almonds if you like.
Bake for about 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil and continue baking.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Optional glaze: warm 2–3 tablespoons honey with a teaspoon of lemon juice, then brush over the warm cake for a glossy finish.
