Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

3 large eggs, separated

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Zest of 1 lemon

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg yolks, granulated sugar, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the yogurt mixture, stirring until just combined. Incorporate the lemon zest for a refreshing flavor.

        In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This will give your cake its light, fluffy texture.

          Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the batter in three additions. Be gentle to keep the mixture airy.

            Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

              Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Before serving, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish if desired.
