  2. Whisk together the olive oil and sugar in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until smooth.
  4. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

Notes

Using fresh lemons provides the best flavor. For a healthier alternative, consider sugar substitutes like Stevia or Monk Fruit.
