Let's Get Started
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter until it's fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
