1/2 cup vegetable oil
7 teaspoons yogourt
3/4 cup cold water
2 teaspoons vanilla

Into a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in center of sifted dry ingredients; add oil, yogourt, water, vanilla, and lemon peel.

Stir with a spoon or beat on low speed until smooth. In another large mixing bowl, add cream of tartar. Do not stir or beat.

Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 325° for 55 minutes; increase heat to 350° and continue baking for 10 minutes longer.
