Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
3 large eggs (room temperature)
⅓ cup vegetable oil
Juice and zest of 2 large lemons

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until combined.
In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, eggs, oil, lemon juice, and zest until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
