Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  3. While the cake cools, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and cream of tartar, beating until stiff peaks form.
  4. Once the cake has cooled for about 10 minutes, spread the whipped meringue over the top, creating peaks.
  5. Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the meringue is slightly toasted.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Serve with optional toppings.
