Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the base of a 7" loose bottomed cake tin with baking parchment. Combine flour, ground almonds, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt together. Give a quick mix to evenly disperse ingredients.
In another bowl or measuring jug, combine oil, yoghurt, eggs, caster sugar, lime zest and juice. whisk together and then combine with dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35 - 40 minutes in the preheated oven. Test cake is fully cooked by inserting a skewer if it comes out clean cake is ready.
Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the tin before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completly.
When cake has cooled, combine all the ingredients for the yoghurt topping and mix together until glossy and smooth with a spatula.
Pour the topping onto the cooled cake, spread to the edges with a spatula.
