Ingredients
-
1 cup plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt
-
3 large eggs
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
Zest of 1 lemon or orange (optional)
Optional toppings or add-ins:
-
Fresh berries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts

Powdered sugar, yogurt glaze, or whipped cream
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round or loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
-
Whisk wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and zest. Mix until smooth.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Mix the batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar or top with your favorite glaze, fruits, or whipped cream.
Notes
-
Use room-temperature ingredients for smoother mixing.
-
Do not overmix to keep the cake fluffy and light.
-
Grease and flour the pan well to ensure easy release.
-
Test doneness with a toothpick around the 35-minute mark.
-
Add-ins like berries or chocolate chips should be lightly tossed in flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
-
Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts and best texture.
