Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Mix Yogurt and Sugar: In a medium bowl, combine the plain yogurt and sugar, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Eggs and Oil: Beat in the eggs and vegetable oil into the yogurt and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly to create a consistent wet batter.

- Incorporate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine until no lumps remain, avoiding overmixing to keep the batter light.
- Add Vanilla Extract: Stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the batter with aromatic sweetness.
- Prepare Pan and Pour Batter: Grease a cake pan with butter or oil to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake the Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
