Almond Lemon scented Yogurt Loaf

I had some yogurt that was about to expire so I wanted to do something with it before it did. I hate when food gets wasted! This loaf has all the flavors that I love: almonds, vanilla, and lemon. Of course I didn't take pictures because it got eaten too fast! But trust me it's delicious. Look how much the kids love me for making it! The loaf is lightly scented with lemon and almonds, comes out of the oven with a crunchy top, tastes better when its cooled, and stays moist for a couple of days.
