Yogurt and lemon cake... very lemony!

To get over a rainy weekend I thought of making this lemon cake with some juicy Italian lemons a friend of mine brought me recently. I have added a small pot of yogurt for extra flavour and there you go, you can soon forget about the weather outside, enjoy this very lemony cake and think about the sunny place where they come from.
