Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
- Combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl; whisk together.
- Whip the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the plain yogurt, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure egg whites are room temperature for maximum volume. Do not overmix when folding egg whites to preserve fluffiness.
