### Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Greek Yogurt Cake
Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, let’s walk through the process of making the cake. This recipe is designed to be quick and easy, so you don’t have to be a baking expert to get perfect results every time.
#### Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you put the cake in, allowing it to bake evenly.
#### Step 2: Prepare the Cake Pan
Grease your cake pan with butter or oil to prevent the cake from sticking. You can also line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper for extra convenience. This step ensures that you’ll be able to remove the cake from the pan easily once it’s done.
#### Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the **Greek yogurt**, **sugar**, **eggs**, **vegetable oil**, and **vanilla extract** until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If you’re using lemon zest and juice, add those in as well. The Greek yogurt should add a rich, creamy texture to the wet ingredients, and the oil will keep the cake moist as it bakes.
#### Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the **flour**, **baking powder**, **baking soda**, and **salt**. Sifting the dry ingredients helps ensure that the baking powder and baking soda are evenly distributed throughout the flour, which helps the cake rise properly.
#### Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk to combine. Be careful not to overmix the batter—just mix until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the wet ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, so it’s best to mix until the batter is smooth but still slightly lumpy.
