    Can substitute another mild-flavored oil for grapeseed oil.

    Will definitely make again. As someone who prefers plain cakes I can't believe I am typing this but... next time I'm going to top with a powdered sugar glaze. The lemon and yogurt tang was so forward (in the best way) that I think it will go well. Baked in a 9 in. round, needed half a lime to get to the right amount of citrus juice and used some plain yogurt with the Greek yogurt too.

    Made this in a loaf pan. Great recipe! So easy (made this with my toddler) and delicious, great flavor. I should've baked it for another 5min but still tasted great. Will repeat.

    I used full fat sour cream in lieu of the difficult to find Greek full fat yogurt (quarantine 2020). I added 1/2 T of lemon pure paste from King Arthur + lemon juice & zest. I ?? lemons. Used springform pan instead of loaf pan. Topped it with her berry crumble with walnuts. Bake time was about 65 minutes with a tin foil cover for the last 20. DELICIOUS! The cake has a moist crumb and the crumble takes it to the next level!

    I am all for baking an elaborate cake, but once in a while I just want a cake that can be made without a stand mixer on a weeknight. This cake definitely fits the bill, a little tangy from the Greek yogurt and very lemony, a hit with my co-workers.
