Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it or lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl and whisk together until evenly mixed.
  3. In a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth, adding lemon zest if desired.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar and add fresh berries or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Keep the batter light by mixing just until combined; overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
