Lemon yogurt cake

Lemons are in season at the moment and I just can't seem to resist buying them when I see a huge bag of them for 3 dollars! But this in turn leads me to the problem of how am I going to use all these lemons, before they go bad? After trawling the internet last weekend I found this fantastic yogurt lemon cake. It takes about 5 mins to assemble and 30 to bake, the hardest part is waiting for it too cool before you devour it.

After eating a piece of this cake it got me thinking just how much I love lemon things, lemon curd, lemon delicious pudding, lemon hand lotion.
