Super simple, extremely delicious, relatively healthy, and adaptable for so many other applications (think trifle, strawberry short cake, glazed lemon cake, with fruit compote, layered cake etc.).

It has a lovely, bright lemon aroma and moist crumb exclusively owed to the addition of fused lemon agrumato olive oil, a  gentle tang from yogurt, and a pleasing delicate crunch and extra complexity from a little cornmeal.
