Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it with unsalted butter and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, eggs, granulated sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  • In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. If using, mix in lemon zest.
  • Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.

Choose high-quality yogurt for best results. Avoid low-fat versions for optimal texture.
