1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs

Optional Brown Sugar Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

9. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake soft.
Greek yogurt creates the moistest texture, but regular plain yogurt also works.
Store covered to maintain freshness.
Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
Serve with coffee, tea, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
