This moist, tangy lemony spelt cake, adapted from Donna Hay, uses Greek yoghurt and sunflower oil rather than butter for a moist, soft, delicate crumb that just melts in your mouth, and to cut down on calories and sugar intake, a combination of applesauce and stevia works as a substitute. It is very easy, quick to mix and freezer friendly.

- Preheat oven to 160C/320F. Grease and flour a 25cm non-stick bundt pan. Whisk together the spelt flour and baking powder.
- Place oil, eggs, lemon rind, lemon juice, yoghurt, applesauce and stevia in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Sift over the flour mixture and stir until smooth.
- Pour the cake batter into prepared cake pan and bake for 50–55 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to stand in the pan for 5 minutes.
- To make the lemon icing, combine the icing sugar, lemon juice and boiling water. Carefully turn the cake out onto a cake stand and spoon over the icing while the cake is still warm. Sprinkle with savoury leaves and allow to set for 10 minutes before serving.

Very tempting and irresistible cake..yummy yummy :)
Absolutely lovely, Angie. I'd make this in a heartbeat.
I love all kinds of lemony dessert/cakes/etc. I can't wait to try this. I have a basket full of lemons waiting for me. :)
What a beautiful cake and photos! Lemon and chocolate are my two favorite flavors for sweets. I would love to try this recipe, Angie - thank you! I wish I had fresh herbs growing! I can't wait for summer :)
Everything is so inviting with this cake; the lemon, the lightness, and even how you presented it . . . I feel as if spring arrived. A keeper for sure, Angie!
I love anything lemon and the addition of sour cream guarantees a lovely moist crumb. This looks fabulous, Angie. I was amazed to find some spelt flour when I was searching my flour drawer the other day...wonder what I made with it? Now I have a use for it.
Ha, I made this Donna's cake to ( the other day). You've adapted it so well with stevia, spelt flour and apple sauce (most of her cakes are overloaded with sugar , but delicious).
I love anything lemon! This is a gorgeous cake. :)
Hi Angie, this looks really delicious I have lemons coming out of my ears right now. Pinned!
Angie your pictures are always so stunning!! Love that you used yogurt and spelt flour in this cake! Yum.
Another lovely and yummy cake from your kitchen again! I love the idea of using oil instead of butter in my cakes, I think they are more moist. Thanks for sharing.

Serious calorie cutting recipe here, love lemon cakes too. Reminds me of summer...will it ever come back?
This cake is beautiful, Angie! Lemon desserts are my favorite and I love that you used greek yogurt and sunflower oil instead of butter. It looks so soft and delicious! The savoury leaves look so pretty too!
Such a light, lovely cake! The lemony flavor is such a great pick-me-up.
Gorgeous cake, presentation and photos!! Absolutely lovely, Angie!
Love this (and Donna Hay)! I have made yogurt cakes and love the moist, springy texture. This is another great way to incorporate spelt, too. The fact that it looks so bright and fresh is a bonus.
That looks so awesome!! I adore lemon flavored sweets
it took on a very unique shape, didn't it! i like the texture of this cake, angie, and the cascading glaze is so enticing!

The cake looks great but I have to tell you that my mother has a huge collection of the Japanese plates! She never used them though!
I love this time of year because everyone is thinking of spring and lemon recipes are everywhere and they are one of my favourites. This is a beautiful looking cake, I'd love a slice right now!
This looks so gorgeous! I love that you use spelt flour instead of regular all purpose - so much easier on the body - and yogurt - great ingredients and lovely cake!

Love, love, love baked goods with lemon. And I know the yogurt makes it really moist. Wishing I had a big slice right now!

I love using oil and yoghurt in cakes, it makes them so soft and moist. Lemon is one of my favourite flavours, love this cake!
Interesting use of oil in place of butter. I've never had a sweet cake like this made with oil. It does look SO moist and delicious and perfect for my afternoon tea time.
Oh what a lovely cake, Angie! Between the applesauce and the yogurt....I bet it is insanely moist! I can think of nothing better than a sweet and tangy lemon cake! This looks divine! : )
How beautiful Angie. Great substitutes and looks so moist
What a gorgeous cake and lovely clicks too!
When I need a healthy cake I can come to you! All your baking looks great and it is healthy. These days there is such a big demand on healthy versions of cakes and food in general. This spelt cake is just my cup of tea! Brava.
What a beautiful, light cake.
Lovely lemon cake, this is the season for citrus!
Another beautiful and healthy dessert...I have never baked with spelt flour...love the idea of lemon...lots of it...lemon cake and lemon frosting...yum!

I love citrus flavor in cakes! It looks very moist and delicious!
This is really beautiful! I have lots of Meyers lemons ready to be used in this cake!

What a delightful, healthy way to brighten up this cold weather! Your photographs make it seem as if Spring is here already.
I love lemony desserts!It must be refreshing and yummy!
Kisses,dear Angie!
My mouth is watering thinking of the lemony icing on the soft cake haha
Love bundt cakes and this one looks fabulous!
I love Greek yoghurt in both savoury and sweet things. Love this lovely cake and I see you have also used sunflower oil. Although I adore butter, I think oil gives a lighter more tender crumb. Delish, Angie!
Love that you used savoury leaves, I bet it adds a lovely flavor addition. Your cake looks gorgeous! Hugs, Terra
I can smell it and have to make it. your cake looks amazing Angie!
Hi Angie,
Can i replace refined spelt flour with APF, and if so would it be 1 to 1? Thanks in advanced for your response.
@Anonymous Sure. I would use 280 grams of APF first since spelt does absorb less liquid, and if the batter appears too thin, then add the rest.
