Easy yogurt cake

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, and eggs until smooth. Add in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If you’re using lemon zest, fold it in now.
4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can dust it with powdered sugar or serve it with fresh fruit if desired.
