How to Make Bulgarian Yogurt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
