Batter
1 c. flour, sifted
1 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs, thickly beaten

Combine water, sugar, lemon and orange slices in small saucepan. Cook at a slow boil until clear and syrupy. Set aside.

Mix and sift flour and baking powder. Add sugar to eggs gradually, beating constantly, until smooth and thick. Stir in yogurt. Add orange rind and flour-baking powder mixture; mix smooth. Pour into an 8-in. square or rectangular baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees fahrenheit for 35 mins.; remove. Cake will have a delicate brown color. Pour cool syrup slowly over hot cake until absorbed; cool. Cut cake diagonally into diamond shapes. Serve plain or garnished with diced orange sections, whipped cream, toasted almonds, chopped pistachio nuts or whatever else you desire.
