Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup 2% plain Greek Yogurt
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons + 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease standard sized loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small mixing bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup of the sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons of the lemon juice and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
