Lemon Cake - Bizcocho De Limon

This is a recipe from Spain that we refer to as “Laura’s Cake”.  My sister in law is from Spain and a friend of hers has passed on the recipe.  The cake is great –it is a variation of a pound cake – but with no butter, and the measurements are made with a yogurt cup – so easy.  It is the most requested afternoon school snack at my house.
