Prepare:
-Preheat oven to 375F (190C)
-In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup (115g) of butter with 1 1/2 cups of sugar, blend until smooth
-Mix well
-Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and a pinch of baking soda
-Add the juice and zest of one lemon or lime
Cook:
-Place pan in oven, bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out dry (it took me exactly 1 hour)
-I also added some mandarin zest in my cake mix
-I used vanilla yogurt, but plain yogurt would also be nice. Adding a bit of vanilla essence would make it more vanilla-y. Also, you could nix the vanilla and add poppy seed for a nice lemon-poppy seed cake. I love chocolate and was thinking of adding it, but I thought it wouldn't work with the citrus. If I make it again, I'll cancel the lemon and add chocolate chips
-Fresh strawberries on top would be great
