INGREDIENTS
- 1 container (125g) plain yogurt (use the empty container to measure the rest)
- 1 container neutral oil (sunflower or vegetable oil)
- 2 containers granulated sugar
- 3 containers all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 packet baking powder (about 16 g or 1 tbsp)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or loaf pan and lightly flour it.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the yogurt and mix well. Use the empty yogurt container to measure the rest of the ingredients.
- Add the oil and lemon zest (if using), and whisk until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined—do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
