Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper. Grease and flour the pan.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into 1 bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 cup sugar, the eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. With a rubber spatula, fold the vegetable oil into the batter, making sure it's all incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a cake tester placed in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside.
- When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool.
- For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake.

Steps:
- Zest lemons and juice lemons. Set aside. Butter and flour your pan. Melt butter and add to a large mixing bowl. Add sugar and whisk until well incorporated. Add eggs, again whisking to incorporate. Stir in reserved lemon juice and yogurt. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, gently mixing everything together. Stir in vanilla and reserved lemon zest. Add mixture to your prepared pan. Place 1 cup of water and trivet in the Instant Pot®. Make a foil sling by tearing off a 15-inch sheet of aluminum foil and folding it in half two times. This is going to be used to lift the cake in and out of the Instant Pot®. Use the foil sling to lower the cake onto the trivet. Lock the lid making sure the valve is in the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot® to manual, high pressure for 28 minutes. When finished, switch the valve to venting for a quick pressure release. When safe to open, gently remove the cake using the foil sling. Place on rack to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan to fully cool on a rack. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over cooled cake and serve.

Tips:
- Make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the cake batter mix more evenly and smoothly.
- Use a zester to get the most flavor from the lemon zest. A microplane grater also works well.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can bake this cake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will help the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
Conclusion:
This Instant Pot Lemon Yogurt Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, fluffy, and moist, with a bright lemon flavor. The yogurt in the batter adds a tangy richness that complements the lemon perfectly. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
