 ------------------------------------CAKE------------------------------------
       3 c  Cake flour
       1 ts Baking soda
     1/4 ts Salt
       6    Eggs; separated
       1 c  Plain yogurt
       2 c  Sugar; divided
       1 c  Butter
       2 ts Grated lemon peel
       2 ts Lemon juice
 
 -----------------------------------GLAZE-----------------------------------
       3 oz Cream cheese
       2 c  Confectioners sugar
       1    Lemon; juice and peel of
  
   Sift dry ingredients; set aside. Beat egg whites, gradually add 1/2 cup
   sugar, until stiff.  Set aside. Beat butter, remaining 1-1/2 cup sugar, egg
   yolks, lemon peel and juice until fluffy--10 minutes. Add flour and
   alternate with yogurt; then fold in beaten egg whites. Pour into a greased
   and floured 10" tube pan (I used a non-stick pan and didn't have to grease
   or flour).  Bake 50 - 60 minutes at 350~.  Cool in pan 10 minutes, then
   turn out on rack. Glaze: Mix and pour over cooled cake. I did not make the
   glaze and the cake was wonderful - moist and delicious. Enjoy - we did!
