  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, mix dry ingredients separately.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until light and airy, with bubbles on top. Gently fold in yogurt, oil, lemon zest and juice.
  4. Add dry ingredients to wet in batches, ½ a cup at a time, folding with a wooden spoon or spatula to incorporate.
  5. Oil and flour a removable 9" baking pan, a loaf pan, or muffin tins. Pour batter into pan.
  6. Bake at a 325F oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out dry (if baking in muffin tins, start checking after 25-30 minutes).
