Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 180 grams non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 large egg whites
• 60 milliliters lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 30 grams powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and Greek yogurt, and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.

Step 4

Add the egg whites, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture, and continue to beat until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift it out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, sift the powdered sugar over the top for a light dusting before slicing into 8 pieces to serve.
