Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a standard loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey or maple syrup, whisking until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined; a few lumps are acceptable.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
  7. Once baked, cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
