INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup fresh home made Greek yogurt

  • 2/3 cup olive oil, plus more for coating the pan

  • 2/3 cup Greek Thyme honey

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

DIRECTIONS

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 325°F.

  2. Grease a 9-inch round springform pan lightly with oil & dust with flour.

  3. Whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, honey, thyme, and lemon zest in a large bowl.

  4. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

  5. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the batter is almost smooth with just a few small lumps.
