  2. Cream together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, zest and salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Sift the cornstarch over the egg mixture and fold in gently.
  4. Stir in the yogurt until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil.  
  6. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
