Notes
- Use room temperature eggs and yogurt for better batter consistency and lighter texture.
- Mix dry ingredients into wet just until combined to avoid a dense cake.
- Line your loaf pan with parchment paper extending over edges for easier cake removal.
- Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
- Allow cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set.
