¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup plain full-fat yogurt
½ cup neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add in the yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
This cake tastes even better the next day after resting.
Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
You can add lemon zest or orange zest for a citrusy touch.
