| 1. Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. | 2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. | 3. Sift the cream of wheat with the baking powder and baking soda two times, then fold into the butter mix alternately with the yogurt. | 4. Grease a 8x12 inch pan and fold the batter into it evenly. | 5. Arrange the almonds along the top so that each half will be in the center of a piece when it's cut, you should have about 4 almonds across and 7 almonds down. | 6. Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. | 7. Meanwhile, make the syrup by dissolving the sugar into the water in a small heavy saucepan over high heat until it begins to boil. | 8. Add the lemon juice. | 9. Turn the heat down to med-high, and boil rapidly about 10 minutes, then cool by standing the pan in a larger pan of cold water. | 10. When the cake is cooled, cut as desired. | 11. We usually make diamond shapes or squares, and serve by spooning the syrup over the cake. | 12. If desired, thick whipped cream can be served over top instead, or a bit of honey syrup. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
