Madeira cake or something with lemons in it. Loaf or cake. I have tried so many Madeira cake recipes and they are so dry you cannot eat them. TIA

This from Pam (cookessentials) would virtually rate as the best Lemonny cake around, everyone whom tried this loved it.
Lemon Yoghurt Cake
This recipe has been in the family for over 25 years it was given to my Mother a friend in Seattle hence the use of a "bundt" tin. Bundt tins are available for sale in our catalogue. The cake keeps extremely well and freezes beautifully. Just remember to grease tin well with butter and dust with flour shaking off the excess before filling with mixture.
Ingredients:
1 & 3/4 cups caster sugar rind 2-3 lemons 2 eggs 1 cup sunflower oil 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt (not low fat) 2-3 tsp lemon juice 2 cups self raising flour
Method: Beat eggs, oil, sugar and peel together in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients in the order above. Butter and flour a 24cm bundt tin . Bake at 180C for 40-45 minutes. Test with a cake tester. Let cake rest only 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Dust cold cake with sifted icing sugar. Phil’s personal note;- Used a standard ring tin with baking paper greased both sides with butter and cut to slightly overlap sides (inside outer part then inside middle hole part) and the bottom piece. Paper sides can come up slightly higher than tin sides though. Cake can stick quite a bit if tin not properly prepared.
