Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8 inch round cake pan (3 inches deep); line the bottom with parchment paper cut to fit.
Rinse, dry and zest the lemons; squeeze the juice from the lemons, about 6 T. In a large bowl, cream together butter, zest and ¾ cup sugar, until light and fluffy; beat in eggs, 1 at a time.
Whisk the flours and the baking powder together to eliminate any lumps; stir into the butter mixture, then the yogurt and 2 T. lemon juice. Spread in the prepared pan.
Bake 30-50 minutes, or until the center springs back when pressed.
Meanwhile, stir the remaining ½ c. sugar and 4 T. lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat to dissolve the sugar; cool.
Transfer finished cake to a wire rack. Pierce cake all over with a skewer; drizzle the lemon syrup on top. Cool 30 minutes.
Invert onto the rack; remove the pan; peel off the paper; cool completely.
Serve.
