This is a very classic, reliable, yogurt cake, great for company and enjoyed by everyone who has tried it. It is very tender and moist, and has a delicate flavor enhanced with lemon zest. Great with coffee or tea! Refrigerate leftover cake.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
1 cup white sugar
1 lemon, zested
1 cup plain yogurt
3 eggs
⅓ cup canola oil
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a metal loaf pan with butter.
Whisk sugar and lemon zest together in a large bowl. Whisk in yogurt, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Whisk into the yogurt mixture until just blended. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
