–CAKE–
3 c Cake flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
6 Eggs; separated
1 c Plain yogurt
2 c Sugar; divided
1 c Butter
2 ts Grated lemon peel
2 ts Lemon juice

-GLAZE-
3 oz Cream cheese

Sift dry ingredients; set aside. Beat egg whites, gradually add
1/2 cup sugar, until stiff. Set aside. Beat butter, remaining 1-1/2
cup sugar, egg yolks, lemon peel and juice until fluffy–10
minutes. Add
flour and alternate with yogurt; then fold in beaten egg
whites. Pour into a greased and floured 10″ tube pan (I used a
non-stick pan and didn’t have to grease or flour). Bake 50 – 60
minutes at 350~. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out on rack. Glaze: Mix
and pour over cooled cake. I did not make the glaze and the cake was
wonderful – moist and delicious. Enjoy – we did! Carol in Scarsdale,
