Gold Out of Straw: Recipe for Lemon Yogurt-Raisin Cake with Crunchy Almond Topping (Γιαουρτόπιτα με Σταφίδα Γλυκό του Κουταλιού)

I made the cake for my friend Teeny’s birthday. It was astonishingly good. The cake was dotted with tender raisins, and was lemony, not too sweet, and very flavorful. The crunchy, lemon-glazed, roasted almonds on top contrasted nicely with the moist cake. My kitchen disaster became one of the best cakes I’ve ever made.

For Christmas presents, I’m making raisins in syrup accompanied by copies of the Lemon Yogurt-Raisin Cake recipe. And this time, I’m cooking the raisins too long on purpose.

The cake must be glazed while it is still hot, so make the glaze while the cake is baking.
