**Raspberry Yogurt Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 cup plain yogurt
– 1 cup sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 cup fresh raspberries
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, mix the yogurt, sugar, and eggs until well combined. Slowly whisk in the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to break them apart too much.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Before serving, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
10. Slice, serve, and enjoy the moist and flavorful Raspberry Yogurt Cake with your favorite hot beverage or a dollop of whipped cream alongside fresh raspberries.
