Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch pan.

Sift flour and salt into a small dish 3 times.

In a mixing bowl, blend butter and sugar on low speed until fluffy. Add grated peel, lemon juice and vanilla to the butter and beat until well blended. On low speed, add eggs and flour mixture alternately, blending after each addition until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.

Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

To prepare the topping, combine cream, yogurt, sugar, grated peel and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Serve slices of cake with the topping, grapes and strawberries.
