2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain yogurt
1 1/3 cup sugar, divided
3 eggs
2 teaspoons lemon zest (2 lemons)
1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2-1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional: I add and love it!)

Preheat oven 350. Grease loaf pan. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into one bowl. Another bowl whisk 1 cup sugar, yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, vanilla, and lemon extract, if using. Combine dry to wet. Then mix in oil. Pour into pan and bake about 50 mins., may need to cover with foil so top doesn't get too dark.In small pan add lemon juice and 1/3 cup sugar until sugar dissolves.Cool cake for 10 mins, then pour lemon sugar mix over cake and allow to soak in.Can put powdered sugar over top or glaze.Enjoy!
