    1 1/2   c            All-purpose flour
    1 1/4   ts           Baking powder
      3/4   ts           Ground ginger
      1/4   ts           Salt
    1       c            Granulated sugar
                         Rind (colored part only) of
                         -2 lemons
    6       oz           Unsalted butter, softened
    3       oz           Cream cheese, softened
    2       lg           Eggs
    8       oz           Lemon yogurt
                         -----GLAZE-----
      1/2   c            Confectioner's sugar
    5       ts           Fresh lemon juice
 
   1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2-by 4 1/2-inch loaf pan
   and dust lightly with flour. Sift together flour, baking powder,
   ginger and salt; set aside.
   
   2. Sprinkle several tablespoons of granulated sugar on a cutting
   board. Add lemon rind and chop as fine as possible. Transfer to a
   large mixer bowl and add remaining granulated sugar, butter and cream
   cheese. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add
   eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add yogurt and
   mix well. Stop the mixer and add dry ingredients. Mix just until
   combined.
   
   3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted
   in the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool in pan for 5
   minutes then invert onto a wire rack.
   
   4. Make glaze by mixing confectioner's sugar and enough lemon juice
   to make a glaze. Pour over warm cake.
