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

1/2 c Confectioner's sugar

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.
