Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add lemon zest if desired.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
