Method
Preheat the oven to 350°F (350°F).
Grease a loaf pan or small baking tin with butter or oil, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The wet ingredients form a smooth mixture.
Sift the flour and baking powder together to incorporate air and remove lumps.
Fold the sifted flour mixture into the wet ingredients gently, mixing only until just combined; avoid over‑mixing to keep the cake tender.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The flour disappears into the batter while it remains light.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: A tester comes out clean from the center of the cake.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes to set.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cake holds its shape as it rests in the pan.
After 10 minutes, turn the cake out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cake finishes cooling on the rack before cutting.
Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with a dollop of fresh fruit jam if desired.
