Instructions:
- Preheat your oven:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a round cake pan (about 9 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, empty the yogurt container and whisk in the eggs, sugar, and vegetable oil (or melted butter). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the vanilla extract and citrus zest if using.
- Add the dry ingredients:
- Using the empty yogurt container as a measuring tool, add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour into the cake pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if necessary.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. The cake should be golden and slightly springy to the touch.
- Cool and serve:
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with fresh fruit or jam.
