nonstick cooking spray
3 cups pastry flour
1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
2 eggs, whisked
1/2 cup cognac
4 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
1 cup honey, divided
1/4 cup water

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 9 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, baking soda, and baking powder.

3. Gradually add the Greek yogurt, mixing small amounts at a time to ensure the yogurt gets mixed in completely. Add the eggs, cognac, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/2 cup honey and continue mixing the batter together until well blended.

4. Pour batter into baking pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the surface has browned well.

5. While the cake is baking, prepare the honey syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the water, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and remaining 1/2 cup honey. Bring to a very low bowl and cook until the syrup coats the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat, allow to cool slightly, and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

6. Upon removing the cake from the oven, immediately pour the syrup over the cake and let sit. If there is remaining syrup, set aside and use when serving.

I have never heard of Greek Yogurt. Curious as to where I might find it. I have everything else. It looks like a mouthful of splendor.
