2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs until light and slightly fluffy.
4. Add the yoghurt, vegetable oil, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
