Procedure

1. Preheat your oven to 350ᵒF.
2. Apply the nonstick vegetable oil spray on a standard loaf pan. Dust with flour and remove the extra.
3. Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, rub the sugar with the lemon zest until the sugar becomes moist (using your fingers). Add the eggs, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and vegetable oil. Beat to blend.
