INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Mix the flour with baking powder and chia seeds.
  2. Work vigorously with the electric whisk the eggs with the sugar until you get a frothy mixture. Add half the flour, one spoonful at a time, always stirring. Then add the milk, yogurt, oil, lemon zest and the rest of the flour to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
  3. Pour the mixture into a round 24 cm diameter hinge mold lined with baking paper and bake at 180 ° C for 30-35 minutes. For safety, check the cooking with a toothpick.
  4. Prepare a raw syrup. Mix the brown sugar (if you do not find it fine enough, sprinkle it by milling it in a mixer) with the lemon juice until it has completely melted.
  5. Take out the baked cake and make a long toothpick with a large number of small holes all over the surface. With a spoon and a brush, sprinkle the still warm cake with the syrup brushing a few spoonfuls at a time and making the cake absorb it. Wait for the cake to cool completely before removing it from the mold.
