Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Butter and flour a 10 inch (25 cm) Bundt pan or 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) metal cake pan.
In large bowl and using electric mixer, beat butter with 2 cups (500 mL) of the sugar until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, yogurt and lemon rind. In separate bowl, stir flour with baking powder. Stir into egg mixture alternating with milk.

Peach Yogurt Topping:
Stir lemon rind into yogurt. Sprinkle peaches with lemon juice; mix gently. To serve, spoon yogurt mixture and peaches over each slice of cake.
Tips
Mixing lemon juice with peaches prevents them from turning brown. If using a glass baking dish instead of a metal cake pan, decrease over temperature to 325 °F (160 °C) to prevent overbaking. 50 min for Bundt pan or 40 min if using 13 x 9-inch (33 x 23 cm) metal cake pan.
