  • Yield

    Makes 12 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs
3/4 cup pomegranate juice, divided
4 teaspoons grated lime peel, divided
1/2 cup plain Greek-style yogurt*
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup pomegranate seeds
2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint leaves

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 13x9x2-inch cake pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Beat sugar and butter in large bowl until well blended, 1 minute. Using electric mixer, add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1/2 cup pomegranate juice and 2 teaspoons lime peel (mixture may appear curdled). Beat flour mixture into batter just until blended. Stir in yogurt.

    Step 2

    Spread batter in pan. Bake until tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cake cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sift powdered sugar into medium bowl; whisk in 1/4 cup pomegranate juice, vanilla, and 1 teaspoon lime peel. Using fork, poke holes in top of warm cake, spacing 1 inch apart. Pour glaze over cake and spread evenly. Cool completely. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds, mint, and 1 teaspoon lime peel over cake before serving.

    Step 3

    • A thick yogurt sold at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Greek markets.
