Preheat oven to 190 C /170C Fan/ Gas 5. Grease a 26cm springform
cake tin and line with baking parchment.
-
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add
lemon zest then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well
after each addition. Stir in yoghurt.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder
then gradually combine with the wet ingredients.
-
Pour half of the cake mixture into the prepared tin and
smooth the top. Sprinkle a layer of redcurrants on top and
cover with the second half of the cake mixture. Carefully
smooth over the top, without disturbing the redcurrants.
-
Bake until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the
centre of the cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin. Once
cool, pop the cake out of the springform tin and place on
a serving plate. Add the cardamom to the icing sugar and
mix. Place the icing sugar in a sieve and dust over the
cake. Slice and serve!
