Lemon Yogurt Cake

Derived from the Turkish word yoğurt, related to yoğurmak ‘to knead’ and yoğun “dense” or “thick”, yogurt is a dairy product produced by the bacterial fermentation of milk. The fermentation of lactose produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and its characteristic sour tang. People have been making and eating yogurt for over 4,5000 years. A nutritional food with unique health benefits, it is rich in protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin B6 and B12. Yogurt also has lots of medical uses including warding off yeast infection in the gastrointestinal tract, aids in alleviate allergies and cholesterol levels, helps heal stomach ulcers, helps prevent osteoporosis, helps reduce high blood pressure, balances stomach pH, softens and moisten dry skin, alleviate yeast infection in the virgina, helps prevents colon cancer, boost immune system … It’s a miracle food! I tried this wonderful recipe just last week. It’s moist, tangy and overall yummy.
