Lemon Yogurt Cake (Ina)

I love lemon and I appreciate the flavor of this cake, the texture unfortunately was a little dense. I may try this again, using room temperature ingredients, separating the egg yolks from the whites and whipping the whites before folding into the batter to see if I can get a lighter cake.

Made again following the recipe and still had a bit of a strange texture - slightly chewy (which I don't mind) and dense. This does not have a fine crumb, but more of a larger, (almost grainy?) crumb, which tho it may be unexpected it isn't bad/doesn't bother me. I do like how the lemon sugar syrup hardens slightly. I skipped the confectioners sugar glaze this time. Really closer to 3 1/2 stars. I like it, I'll eat it, but I won't make it for company.
