  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.
