Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 8-inch round cake pan, optionally lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly blended.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup of yogurt, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, ½ cup of vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the zest of one lemon if desired.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Once the cake is cool, dust with powdered sugar or top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce as desired.
