Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Add the yogurt and vegetable oil, then mix thoroughly. Stir in the lemon zest, baking powder, and 300 g of flour. Mix until the batter is smooth. If the batter feels too thin, add a little more flour and mix again to reach the desired consistency.

  2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Grease and line a 21 x 29 cm baking dish. Pour the batter into the dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then use a knife to cut the cake into small pieces.
