lemon yoghurt cake

I love watching the Discovery channel. Especially Travel &Living because they have cooking shows which I adore. They are making a lemon tart; they all look so gorgeous and professional! It reminds me of the lemon-yoghurt cake I made a week or so ago with my friend Wallace(while Skype-ing with the boyfriend - girls that can cook are meant to be impressive and sexy right?). I am not much of a cook and it turned out well so it seems to be a decent, safe recipe for the fearful non-cook... It may turn out to look more like a loaf but tastes good none the less! You could slather it in Betty Crocker's icing which seems to make everything taste even better. I sometimes even buy a tub to dip my finger in now and again when I pass by the fridge feeling for something sweet. A nasty habit of mine.

Here is the simplified version of the recipe which should be easy enough to follow and concise.
Thought I'd share it - I am quite proud of anything I bake that turns out well!
