\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Preparation (5 minutes)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Grease and flour a medium loaf pan or a round cake pan (approx. 8\u20139 inches \/ 20\u201323 cm).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    2. Mixing the Wet Ingredients (5 minutes)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, eggs, and sugar<\/strong>. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is mostly dissolved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Stir in the oil<\/strong> and vanilla extract<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      3. Adding Dry Ingredients (3 minutes)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour<\/strong> and the baking powder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula or spoon. Mix only until the flour is just incorporated\u2014do not overmix, as this can make the cake tough.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        4. Baking (30\u201340 minutes)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes<\/strong>. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          \u2728 Packing Tip<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Since you are packing it daily, let it cool completely, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and it will stay moist for several days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
