MADZOONOV GARGANTAG (ARMENIAN YOGHURT CAKE)

Madzoonov Gargantag (Armenian Yoghurt Cake) image

Yoghurt cakes are always so moist. I love the sound of the lemon flavourings in this one. The recipe specifies natural yoghurt, but when I make it I plan to use creamy Greek yoghurt. I'm posting this recipe, which I found in 'The Best of Lebanese and Middle Eastern Cooking' for the 2005 Zaar World Tour.

We were invited for dinner at a friend's house and she served us this wonderful cake for dessert. I found this recipe at Cooks.com and Chow Times.com. I have yet to try making it myself to see if it works. Will probably add a review if it turns out great.
