Okay, so you're looking for a recipe but not as many calories. Well, this cake has all the flavour and none of the guilt! The secret is Yogurt! Top it off with strawberries or any fruit and voila!!! Ingredients:

1/4 cup lemon juice (grate zest first) |
1-1/3 cups sugar |
5 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. (1/3 cup) butter at room temperature |
1 tbsp. grated lemon zest (i usually add a dash extra) |
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder |
1/2 tsp. baking soda |
1/4 tsp. salt |

5. In a large bowl, beat sugar, butter, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda and salt with mixer on medium speed to blend (mixture will resemble damp sand).
