This recipe makes a large fluted ring tin cake and comes from a magazine from years ago. Perfect warm or cold with or with out a dollop of fresh cream or yogurt. Light and tangy with an almost pound cake texture. A great way to use up those lemons. Presents and travels well. Be sure to use plain style GREEK yogurt as it has more solid texture.
