Lemon Yogurt Cake

This is a simple no fuss cake. Do not really need any skill. Just whipped everything together in a bowl without lumps. The recipe is from the Sunday Times. They published many great recipes. I usually cut it out and keep it for record. Try and tested some.

Mmm....delicious. This one is soft and spongy. Anyone who loves the lemon sweet and sour taste should give this a shot. It was DELICIOUS! Its not like the butter cake. You get kind of "sick" after a few slices. But this just increase your appetite. However, make this only occasionally as the sugar contain is very high. It uses 225g as compared to sponge cake that uses only 150g.
