Let’s make it.

Heat oven to 180°C and line a 20 cm round cake tin.
Whisk yogurt, sugar, eggs, oil and lemon zest until smooth.
Fold in flour and baking powder just until no dry flour remains; pour into the tin.
Bake 30–35 minutes until the center springs back and a skewer comes out clean. Cool in the tin 10 minutes, then on a rack.
