Preparing the Cake:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest (if using).
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Berries or Nuts (Optional):
Gently fold in fresh berries or chopped nuts if desired.
Baking the Cake:
Pour Batter:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
