Double Chocolate Lemon Yogurt Cake

When life gives you lemons, what would you do? I turned it to yummy and heavenly snack by making a Double Chocolate Lemon Yogurt Cake!

This is a very rich chocolately cake with a tinge of lemon flavour and I love it to the max! I need to load myself with lots of water though in case my husky voice decides to make a huge comeback. Lol!
