5 from 4 votes

A very simple yet super moist cake with few ingredients. Not everyone loves creaming or beating butter and sugar when baking, sometimes stressful and time-consuming.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400℉ and grease a baking pan with butter or oil. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add the oil, butter, sugar, eggs, and yogurt. Using a whisk, stir till well combined.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until a perfect batter is formed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smoothen the top.
Bake in the middle rack of the oven at 350℉ for 40 minutes until a stick or tester comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let it sit in the baking pan for 5 minutes, now transfer on to a cooling rack to cool.
Cut and serve right away. I sprinkled some icing or powdered sugar on it before serving.
