It’s the first time I made lemon yogurt cake following your recipe. It came perfectly. All my friends loved it. Thank you!

[@ILikePeace344]

Thanks Dimitra. I followed your instructions to the T, and it worked out perfectly. It was fantastic! Family loved it. Love your channel. It’s always my go to channel for beautiful, healthy and simple Greek recipes. Thanks for sharing!!

[@nancyjerniganstewart]

You know by now that I follow your channel religiously. But what is spooky is that I was looking for a light cake to take to my neighbors who lost a family member and didn't know what to take. Voila! You posted this video just in time! And I have all the ingredients already in my pantry! Thanks!

[@Mita_2023]

I made this after work, it's quite a substantial amount, smells and tastes delicious. For some reason the center deflated a little. I might halve the recipe next time 😋

[@johnjohng668]

[@maryevans4422]

This looks so delicious 😋 Thank you for the recipe! You mentioned full fat yogurt but I only have 0% fat. Is this still ok to use?

[@jennifernajjar7062]

Hi could l use vegetable oil in place of butter?

[@mfgibert]

Thanks Dimitra for this recipe. But, what about the coconut ? 😀😀😀

[@rimamoussalli1907]

🙏🏻

[@yasmeenfarah5663]

Looks delicious 😋 can I use orange juice instead lemon 🍋

[@zulaikakhalid809]

She has mentioned that orange juice and the orange zest with it can be substituted for lemon’

[@jonbaum]

Looks fantastic. But 2 teaspoons of baking powder is definitely not 150g, more likely 15.

[@thomasdsouza6664]

I have only 2% yoghurt, will that do as you said full fat

[@KC-yj3yx]

If you don’t want the rest of your piece can I have it ? ,, just asking Karl

[@1796Patriot]

??? 2 teaspoon =150 grams??? No way. 2 teaspoons is about 8-10 grams

[@anthonydiego7330]

Gluten-free option?

[@mativaforzaitalia5638]

Thank you so much i'm not sure for the backing powder ,i herd 150gr...it's a little bit to much...can you tell me is it 50gr??

[@DimitrasDishes]

Yes, that was a mistake on the video however the written recipe on the blog and under the video have the correct measurements :)

[@mativaforzaitalia5638]

Thank you Dimitra. I did it and it's delicious !❤😘

[@saraabraham9963]

Can i use orange instead and wheat flour? Pleas advise. Thnaks!

[@DimitrasDishes]

Orange yes, wheat flour will make the cake too dense. I don’t recommend it.

[@saraabraham9963]

@@DimitrasDishes Thank Dimitria you are the BEST chef in the World. As an Armenian my whole family likes your cooking. Thanks and God Bless you and your family!

[@sabeena011]

150 grams of baking powder? Is this incorrect?

[@shidaladani7385]

150 gram of baking powder?
