Lemon yogurt cake with cranberries

This cake recipe, 'gateau au yaourt', is often taught to French children who are just learning to cook. It's very much like a sour cream pound cake, but you can play with the flavors by using different fruited yogurts.

Pour 1 pot of lemon yogurt in a mixing bowl. Now use the yogurt cup as your measuring tool.

2 yogurt cups flour
1 1/2 yogurt cups sugar
1/2 yogurt cup oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp alomond extract
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 cup dried cranberries, soaked in hot water then drained

In a large bowl mix together yogurt, sugar and oil. Beat in the eggs and stir in lemon juice and almond extract. In a small bowl mix flour and baking powder. Stir it into the yogurt mixture. Fold in zest and cranberries.

Pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until browned and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
