In a large mixing bowl, cream the cheeses until smooth. Then add sugar and flour. Blend in the yogurt.
Add the eggs, yolk, lemon juice and zest, combining until smooth and thoroughly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 225°F and bake for another 40 minutes. The cake will be set in the middle and slightly golden in color.
Cool well. Cover the top of the cake with plastic wrap and chill it overnight.
