3/4
cup

2
tbsp

1 1/2

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F and use butter or cooking spray to grease a bundt pan or 9" springform pan.
In a large bowl, using a hand- or stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together for until the mixture is pale and thick. This may take 3-4 minutes.
To the egg and sugar mixture, add the Greek yogurt and lemon zest. Beat again to combine.
Slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream while the mixer remains on medium speed. Set this mixture aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the wet ingredients and mix gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Cool for 5 minutes before removing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Lemon glaze
This takes the cake to the next level! Mix together 1 cup of sifted icing sugar with 3 tbsp of lemon juice and the pour over the cake.
