With a tub of leftover yoghurt & lemon from my Fruit Pastry Cake, i came up with this moist butter cake power up with the aromatic rind and refreshing juice.
Now i wish i can grow my own lemon tree, so i get to reward an endless supply of
Verdict: I believe the yoghurt added moisture to the cake, fragrance resulted from the ground almond and rich buttery smell from the butter i used. Depending on individual liking for the level of sourness, you can adjust the lemon rind & juice used per your reference.

Sugar 130g
2 eggs

2tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeeze)
