Vanilla
1.5 tbsp butter
Dash of salt

Syrup:

1 cup castor sugar

Prepare the syrup in a pan by bringing the sugar and water to boil. Add the lemon juice and leave to simmer until it thickens slightly. Add the vanilla after removing from heat and stir. Leave aside to cool-off. Beat the yoghurt and sugar in a large bowl. Leave aside, covered, for one hour. Beat the eggs with vanilla and add to yoghurt. Add the salt and baking powder to flour and sift. Add to previous mixture and stir until well combined. Pour in a lightly greased and floured round baking pan. Bake in a moderate preheated oven. Remove when done and leave to cool-off in pan. Add the cold syrup to slightly warm cake and leave until fully absorbed before placing onto serving plate.
