In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Combine the Dry and Wet Mixtures
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in a dense cake.
